Ask Slashdot: an IP-Aliasing super-server?
c3w writes
"I'd like to run a machine with IP-aliasing that /appears/ truly to be a collection of networked machines.
inetd doesn't support ip-aliasing and binds to a port on /every ip/ (*:port) of that machine.
tcpserver, part of D.J. Bernstein's ucspi-tcp package, link can bind to a port on a /specific IP/ and ignore connections to other IPs aliased on that machine.
The problem is tcpserver's configuration isn't as clean as inetd; it's not a super-server like inetd, and thus runs each port/ip/service combination as a process, with it's command line options visable via `ps`. It also consumes (about 88k unshared) more memory per process.
is there an inetd-like replacement that supports IP-aliasing and an inetd.conf style config? should I try to write one by combining the best bits of tcpserver and inetd? am i strange for wanting this? --c3w
