A search didnt turn anything up.

I just got two new dedicated servers and Gentoo is currently running on them.
The problem is they are currently running off one ip when I have a block of 4 (usable) ips.

I did find this in /etc/conf.d/net but I have no idea how to configure it correctly. The example is for a lan.
Quote:
# If you need more than one address, you can use something like this
# NOTE: ifconfig creates an aliased device for each extra IPv4 address
# (eth0:1, eth0:2, etc)
# iproute2 does not do this
#config_eth0=(
# "192.168.0.2/24"
# "192.168.0.3/24"
# "192.168.0.4/24"
#)

My netmask is 255.255.254.0 and I'm not exactly sure how the /24 bit works.

I want to get it right the first time because if I dont then that means no ssh and I would need to make a support ticket to get it fixed.

Code:
config_eth0=(
   "192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   "192.168.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
   "192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"  )


Like so. So change the mask to 255.255.254.0 or just use /23 instead :)

I find the /24, /23 notation for logical than netmask 255.255.255.0, netmask 255.255.254.0

And it's shorter too!
