[Xen-users] Secondary IP's not working

[Michael Warner <admin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm working with a centos4 guest os and am having some trouble with 
assigning multiple IP's to the guest. In the guest machine I have 
created the proper entries in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts to bring 
the network up. Once booted I have a setup like this:
eth0 - 1.1.1.1
eth0:1 - 1.1.1.2

Now the problem is I can access the first IP from the outside world 
without a problem. But the second IP on eth0:1 does not work, when I try 
accessing it I get the domain0 machine instead of the guest. What I 
tried doing next is taking down eth0 and assigning 1.1.1.2 to it like so:
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 1.1.1.2 up

I still could not access the IP. But if I initiate an outgoing 
connection (ie ping a domain) then immediately it starts working. So my 
question is how can I get several public IP's working while booting the 
guest? The guest configuration looks like this:
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.10-xenU"
memory = 512
name = "guest"
nics = 1
cpu_weight=5
vif = ['vifname=vps17519'];
disk = [ 
'file:/opt/xen/vps17519/disk,sda1,w','file:/opt/xen/vps17519/swap,sda2,w' ]
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"

I start the domain by issueing this command:

xm create guest.cfg

Any help would be appreciated.

-Mike
