Hi,
Is it possible to configure stunnel to use the same port on different IP addresses that are Ethernet aliases?
Hi John,
on most (if not all) operating systems, you bind() a socket to a network interface, not to an IP address. The confusion is caused by the fact, the network interface is identified by its IP address. The second IP address on your eth0 really is an alias, i.e. a second name for the same thing.
Thus, I'm afraid you can't configure stunnel to distinguish the IP addresses on the same ethernet interface.
HTH,
Ludolf
