ifalias surving reboot

[Adam Boyet]

Is the ifalias command supposed to survive a reboot? I have added multiple
IP's to my NIC but 3 of them do not return after a reboot.

ifalias is not persistent across reboots. I remedied this on my systems by
creating a new startup file in /sbin/init.d called virtual IP that is run at
boot time and executes the ifalias commands to create the new IP addresses.

I linked this script into /sbin/rc2.d as S341virtualip, right behind S340net.

Feel free to email me if you need additional details on the process of setting
up rc scripts.
