I don't think that's going to work .. There is no issue for the lo iface to be assigned various other ip addresses on top of 127.0.0.1 and neither for services/sockets to bind to any of those additional ips and be available to other system components. At the moment I am running ssh, netdata, exim, dnsmasq and webmin each on a separate lo iface ip. Like mentioned earlier Webmin is currently bind and running on the lo iface with ip 172.23.122.98, which though was not possible to set via the Webmin gui but via 'bind=172.23.122.98' in "/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot - Forwarded by the Webmin mailing list at [email protected] To remove yourself from this list, go to http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webadmin-list
