I setup the following script to setup the aliases:
NOTE:
I want this machine to be FROM XXX.XXX.XXX.10
Machine boots up as XXX.XXX.XXX.11 in /etc/hosts(or depending on how you
setup your box /etc/hostname.le0). Once a patch for this is made I just
have to swap .11 and .10 and I am where I want to be.

#!/bin/sh
ndd -set /dev/ip ip_enable_group_ifs 0
# Some_Virtual_Website.com
/sbin/ifconfig le0:2 XXX.XXX.XXX.12 up
# Some_Other_Virtual_Website.com
/sbin/ifconfig le0:3 XXX.XXX.XXX.13 up
# MAKE SURE WE COME FROM ONLY .10
/sbin/ifconfig le0:1 XXX.XXX.XXX.10 up
As a side note: I need an external CDROM and a tape backup (8mm) for a
sparc 5. I am trying to keep costs down and I know about the SUN/PC/CDROM
FAQ but I have not found any good information on tape drives is there such
a faq? Also where besides sun express do people get sun/generic sun
equipment?

Subject: Solaris 2.6 interface groups
I have just setup a machine with Solaris 2.6. The machine has a few
virtual hosts on it. Whenever I make a connection from the machine
(telnet) the machine "randomly" picks one of the virtual interfaces and
says I am from "www.virtualhostonthismachine.com". I have tracked it down
to this in the ifconfig man page:
If an interface (logical or physical) shares an IP prefix
with another interface, these interfaces are collected into
an interface group. IP uses an interface group to rotate
source address selection when the source address is unspeci-
fied, and in the case of multiple physical interfaces in the
same group, to scatter traffic across different IP addresses
on a per-IP-destination basis. (See netstat(1M) for per-
IP-destination information.)
This feature may be disabled by using ndd(1M).
The problem is that I can not figure out what needs to be changed.
I believe it might be /dev/ip ip_enable_group_ifs but setting that to 0
did not seem to change the behavior.
