Specific to this subject, using the "ifconfig" statement to
establish an
alias IP address does produce what seems to be a valid definition, but
when a packet is built it contains an incorrect source IP address. This
is true on FC-6 up-to-date within weeks, but not true on ubuntu platform
operated by an associate of mine. Until FC documentation contains the
passage to describe the "should be" definition (that I can not locate
and believe may not exist) I can not consider this situation to be a
software bug.
The way you describe it, it sounds more like a bug. Is there any reason
not to file a bug report on it?
Search for a similar report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/query.cgi?format=simple
And/or file a report on the 'net-tools' package that
provides /sbin/ifconfig:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora%20Core
If it does turn out to need a mention in the documentation, then it
would belong here somewhere:
