Actually they are not on the same subnet. I don't want to broadcats them on 
the list as it is not safe, but here are the numbers with the 3 first parts 
masked... the XXX.XXX.XXX being the same all the time

my main IP address is
XXX.XXX.XXX.254
I also have a second one on the same subnet
XXX.XXX.XXX.243

My ISP installked that one as nothing needs to be done as on the same subnet 
(as far as I understand).

He now gave me the following (which I understand is a range of 28 addresses 
on top of the 48))
XXX.XXX.XXX.48/28

with 48 being the network address, 49 unsuable and 63 the broadcast address.

I need to do some IP aliasing at shell level probably, but don't want to 
mess up.

Thanks for your help

Gilles
