Tulip and IP aliasing

[Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a report saying that Tulip was slow when IP aliasing for a large
number of hosts was in effect.  This report was from a guy running a Web
server which binds to a ton of IP aliases in order to do its virtual
hosts.

Talking with jamal on IRC he mentioned that IP aliases matching occurs
through a linear search.

Can someone point me to this code?  I grepped for CONFIG_IP_ALIAS in
2.4.x but that seemed only to encompass very small bits of code, and not
the actual IP matching code I am searching for.

Regards,

        Jeff
