Re: Multihomed hosts and virtual web hosts

More mumblings about proposed Shprentz changes...

Don't broadcast, netmask, etc., also need to move into this?
Also, I'm thinking "aliases" might be better than
"local-name"...? so perhaps

    <network-interfaces> <!-- proposed rename... -->
     <entry name="hme0"><table>
       <entry name="ip-address">192.168.1.1</entry>
       <entry name="netmask">255.255.255.0</entry>
       <entry name="broadcast">192.168.1.127</entry>
       <entry name="aliases"><list>
         <item>gold-hme0</item>
         <item>gold-hme0-another-alias</item>
       </list></entry>
     </table></entry>
   </network-interfaces>

Of course, with the lovely ARK table merging, you could just
put

    <network-interfaces> <!-- proposed rename... -->
     <entry name="hme0"><table>
       <entry name="netmask">255.255.255.0</entry>
       <entry name="broadcast">192.168.1.127</entry>
     </table></entry>
   </network-interfaces>

in a prototype and all the conforming machines would come
right.

Anyone see any horrible, horrible messes I'm making :-)?
