Re: Autoipd fails to give ip address to eth0:0

Yeah, I'm aware of the ip range... and I have to disagree, there are
very good reasons to do this. In this case, I have two services running

they cannot send and receive traffic on the same port.

You cannot do it - there are no separate ports for the
different IP addresses present on a host. The IP alias
on an interface does not create additional parallel ports.

Besides, having two interfaces in the same subnet is
not a good idea in the general case. It makes simple
routing impossible. There are special cases, e.g.
load balancing, but a pair of aliased interfaces
on a common NIC does not apply here.

But back to my question, do you know why autoipd will not assign to a
virtual interface?

It is against the design philosophy of the zero configuration
system. Please read the documents at <http://www.zeroconf.org/>.
