Hi Alan,
I tried using 2.2.14 kernel with hidden option on proc files for all,
eth0 and eth1. ARP problem is gone, but that solves only half
of my problem.
My problem is :
I can not use the two interfaces together on the same subnet, reason is with
2.2.14 kernel, if any of the interface goes down, other one
also goes down with that. I can not do anything with other interface.
What I want is, if any one interface goes down, people can connect
to the server through other interface, through Round Robin DNS.
Thanks
Regards
Dhallan
