Re: Multiple interfaces with the same IP address

Hi Jan,

I just ran into a problem with this functionality: the ipAddressTable 
(in the ip-mib code) leaked memory; this is because the table did not 
allow duplicate IP addresses.

I believe the ip-mib is using the ip-addresses as indexes into the 
table, therefore it is a limitation of the MIB to not allow duplicates 
(but I am not 100% sure).

We were doing some IP tunneling when we encountered this error.

Should I post my fixes (diffs) to net-snmp-bugs? or -coders?
