Is it possible to use iptables with a device alias
(ex.. eth0:1)? I tries to add a filter rule and got
an error:
% iptables -t filter -I INPUT -i eth0:1 -j ACCEPT
Warning: wierd character in interface `eth0:1' (No
aliases, :, ! or *).

If i list the rules, it's listed, but it doesn't
appear to be working. I was wondering if someone had
a definite answer.

TIA

Steve
