Just because you "down" the interface does not mean that addresses assigned to that interface are no longer assosciated with the host system. If you wish the machine not to respond to any of the interface's addresses, you must explicitly delete them from the interface address list. Why would you want this behaviour? If it's configured down, it would seem that the user is trying to tell the system not to use it :) Ben -- Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com |
