RH 6.2 box, running kernel 2.2.17.
The machine has one NIC - eth0. eth0 is 212.147.130.150.
It also has one aliased interface, eth0:0 using 212.147.130.133.
The box no longer needs 212.147.130.150 so I've changed the bootup
scripts to only configure one interface, eth0, with 212.147.130.133 on
startup.
The problem is that the machine is live now and I don't want to reboot
it. If I 'ifconfig eth0 down' to shutdown the 212.147.130.150 interface
will eth0:0 remain useable?
