FYI: I've read everything on Serverfault related to this question and have faced a different issue.
Simply put, I've got one server (apache2) with couple of sites on it. It currently has 1 ip. I'm trying to assign/add another ip to that server, so I can give each site a different ip for ssl purposes.
I am not lucking out. The new ip simply is unreachable, I've pinged it. This is what I've got below, what am I doing wrong.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0 eth0:0 eth0:1
iface eth0 inet static
address 70.116.5.244
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 70.116.5.1
#THE NEW IP
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 26.175.217.102
netmask 255.255.255.0
#PRIVATE IP
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.158.88
netmask 255.255.128.0
NOTE: THESE IP'S ARE TWEAKED BUT RELATIVE
I've read many questions here 90% similar to this but most actually have the IP respond, not this case. Thanks
