Virtual Hosts

[Uwe Eisner <Uwe.Eisner@globit.com>]

Hi @ all,

I am starting set up a iptables based firewall (iptables v1.2.5) on a 
Suse Linux 8.0prof machine.
I created a virtual host an eth0, which is eth0:1.

The situation is, that the firewall is a zebra OSPFD-Router (verson 
0.92a), too. And the machine needs a public IP-Address at the internal 
interface as well. How ever, I would like to use internal ip-stack at my 
network, wherefor I need a virtual host, needn't I?

I have same roule at iptables like:
iptables -A FORWARD -d 192.168.0.0/16 -i eth0:1 -j ACCEPT

The script stoped with following error:
Warning: wierd chracter in interface 'eth0:1' (No aliases, :, ! or *)

In same list, it is mentioned, that it works, other guys say, it works not..

Hope sameone can help me..

Thx and best reguards
