Re: [cobalt-users] New IP and old IP both work,

["Jim Scott" <cobaltlist@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Simply remove the ifcfg-eth0-0 if that is the one that has the IP that
should no longer exist. Reboot the box and you will no longer have that IP
bound.

Simple as that. If you ever want to add it back just make a copy of it to
some directory and them remove it.
