Help with alias please

Gianni
Hi all,

I try to configure an IP alias on my external interface, but once configure the firewall cut any connection :-)) Suspecting a netmask problem. Here what I'm doing

External real IP 1.2.3.2/255.255.255.0
External Gateway IP 1.2.3.1
I received a new address 1.2.3.3 but when I configure it in IP Alias(1.2.3.3/255.255.255.0), the firewall stop any functionality (no internet access).

Thanks for any help
Gigi

    Well, 
    I've requested a second IP address to my provider to separe some kind of 'private access' (VPN, test NAT, ecc.) from the official www site.
    I mean our pubblic services www/mail have a pubblic domain name www.abcd.com.  This connection is secured by astaro.
    Now I need to open some routes to the internal/Dmz network (remote access, VPN and other services) but I do not want to 'map' them on a pubblic known domain address, so I requested the second IP.
    My Idea is to access these 'private' services using only the 2. IP address given.

    Hi Gianni,
    you must enter your IP-Alias like 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.255 and not 1.2.3.4/255.255.255.0

    Ok so this is my configuration for the web server aliasing: i think you can reproduce this easily:

    - Web server -
    IP 192.168.9.5 mask 255.255.255.0
    gw 192.168.9.1

    - ASL box -
    in network - interfaces:
    eth0: intern -192.168.9.1 - 255.255.255.0
    eth1: extern - 1.2.3.4 - 255.255.255.0

    alias: webserv - eth1 - 1.2.3.5 - 255.255.255.0
