up_the_irons: 60A, sweet :) G: yeah, i'm pretty jazzed you'd definatelly need the extra 20 if you were looking at blades etc, so I hear 50% more power means 50% more servers in the same space that too oh yeah, blades are power hungry you need 208V for blades also so it's actually more like 100A well NZ/Australia/etc is 240V mains do you power the servers AC or DC? (curious) G: ac whats the easiest way to add ip on my box? i did edit rc.conf what os are you running vin\ ? freebsd? freebsd 8.2 i did something like this http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html and lols when i reboot error well not exactly like that can you paste the contents of your rc.conf into a pastebin? i remove it already but i wanna add 4 more iP on it its currently my main ip only ÄÄ( vinx@bsd )-( 12:23P:02/16/2011 )ÄÄ À-( ~ )>ifconfig em0: flags=8843 metric 0 mtu 1500 options=209b ether 52:54:00:27:25:44 inet 174.136.106.202 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 174.136.106.207 inet6 fe80::5054:ff:fe27:2544%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet6 2607:f2f8:a170::2 prefixlen 64 nd6 options=3 media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT ) status: active lo0: flags=8049 metric 0 mtu 16384 options=3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 no paste your rc.conf on to pastie or something i can help you add the correct lines http://pastie.org/ :) much easier to read then http://pastie.org/1570294 there what error did you get? you need to start at alias0 not alias1 that might be an issue hmm what about my netmask? why is it *.248 on the first one? that's correct, the aliases should be 255.255.255.255 because that's the main IP and needs to know about the subnet but why the main ip is *.248 hmm the aliases do not need to handle broadcast traffic etc so must be entered as /32s ic hmm you've got a /29 (five usable addresses) yeah so how do i do this? just make the 1st one 0? the first alias? one sec i'll create a pastie ok try this: http://pastie.org/1570312 ok, how do i check if its working w/o rebooting? hmm forgot thec cmd try /etc/rc.d/netif restart damn somethings wrong lols my pf fules rules it should be /root/fw/pf.rules wth really, your rules should be in /etc ic config files should reside in /etc for the system because they are mounted then as / so are available right away and if you ever need to recover from a nasty accident that makes things much easier ;) hehe thats ok i just get used to putting it on my root :) man hier might be of interest some good pointers in there for where various files should live, i found it handy :D well those files only that i made personally those configs i make sure i put it on a special place /etc is kinda pub for me jsut set the permissions correctly yepo somethings wrong lols :/ see ping it lols its down :( have you added rules to allow it? pass in log quick on $if_all proto { tcp, udp } from 174.136.106.200/29 to any $ hm hello
