Subject: [gentoo-user] Network configuration - Two ips one from dhcp & other static
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
X-Archives-Salt: 660dddac-5a60-49a8-a872-a70292ff74ec

Well, the title tells the question clearly; how do I configure network
such that the first ip is obtained via dhcpcd and other is static?
config_eth0="dhcp <static>" doesn't work.

As a solution I wrote a dhcpcd hook containing /sbin/ifconfig eth0:0
<ip> netmask <netmask>

Is there a direct way?
