Multiple VIPA addresses
Multiple virtual interfaces can be configured. Multiple VIPA interfaces would be useful, for example, if network routers could give preferential treatment to packets sent to or from certain VIPA addresses.
Or, you might use multiple VIPA interfaces if they were binding
applications to a specific VIPA interface. For example, to run multiple
web servers for multiple companies on a single machine, you could
configure the following:
- vi0 200.1.1.1 www.companyA.com
- vi1 200.1.1.2 www.companyB.com
- vi2 200.1.1.3 www.companyC.com
