[vox-tech] binding multi ip's to single iface in debian

[vox-tech@lists.lugod.org]

Ok, didn't realize it was a kernel option... but it makes
sense. I should have said that I'm using 2.4.18 kernel. I
can't find an option for CONFIG_IP_ALIAS and the
Configure.help for this version doesn't have this entry.
What version of the kernel did you find this?
