Well, I have never done this, so cannot really comment on whether it will work well or not. Perhaps reborg (or someone with more knowledge about this than me) can comment?

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root         103 Dec 19 05:01 /etc/hostname.e1000g4
for i in /etc/hostname.e1000g*; do
> echo $i
> cat $i
> done
/etc/hostname.e1000g0
servername-e1000g0-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover deprecated up
addif servername netmask 255.255.255.0 up
/etc/hostname.e1000g4
servername-e1000g4-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover deprecated up

You can call your group anything you want, and make sure that you add the servername and servername-e1000g0/g4 (this will, of course, depend on your driver and your hardware) in the /etc/hosts file.
what will happen if I replace the following line with 'standby'

servername-e1000g4-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover deprecated up

i.e. instead of above use :

servername-e1000g4-ipmp netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast + group mnb -failover standby up

in /etc/hostname.e1000g4 ! and /etc/hostname.e1000g0 remains as in quote.

Thanks, while I was reading I did not understand,

IPv4 test addresses should not be placed in the DNS and NIS name service tables

What is the reason for above and if I am not wrong test address are servername-e1000g4-ipmp* right ?(in above example)

what will happen if we add R-Records for these test IPS/Hostnames in DNS ? well ofcourse they will get resolved but what wrong will it do ?

Thanks
