Hello,
my server is ESXI
i’ve (for the tests) 2 network interface (eth0 and eth2) with two IP and MAC address.
i’ve add eth2 on Webmin -> Networking -> Network configuration -> Network Interfaces -> Add a new interface.
with the ip address and mac address
and Webmin -> Networking -> Network configuration -> “Routing and Gateways” with the same gateway of eth0
after on VirtualMin -> Addresses and Networking -> “Shared addresses for any servers”
i’ve add the ip of eth2
and i’ve create my “Virtual server” with the new ip address “178.33.40.226”
but i can’t ping 178.33.40.226
and http://178.33.40.226 don’t run…
an idea ?
(website and ping on eth0 is ok)
up please,
i can’t migrate my webserver… stand by fot that…
Thanks
Well if you can’t even ping your VM on the second IP address, Virtualmin domains certainly won’t work. 
Please answer all of these questions:
- Which version of VMware ESXi are you using?
- What Linux distro are you using?
- What's the output of [code]ifconfig -a[/code]?
- Are you using the correct IP and MAC addresses (i.e. those that your hoster assigned to you)?
- Did you set the correct MAC address in the VM's configuration?
Hello,
ESXi is V5 (i think)
My linux is Centos 6.4
Yes the mac address is correct on VM, and it’s the same as given for my server…

I’ve reply to your questions…
is there a iptable command for verify the configuration ?
(i really don’t understand why i can’t ping the eth2 ip address)
To really evaluate this problem, it’d be useful if you posted the full MAC and IP addresses, and not X parts of them out.
For now I can see that you have /32 as netmask for your IPv4 addresses, but are not using a point-to-point setup, which is rather unusual. Were you given some instructions by your hoster how to set up the primary and additional IP addresses?
Please post your routing table using the command route -n, and your networking config using cat /etc/network/interfaces. The latter might be different for your distro, I’m using Ubuntu.
To check if the packet filter is dropping packets, you can list the filter table with iptables -L
When you post screen outputs, please enclose them in [code][/code] tags, otherwise linebreaks and monospace font gets lost.
ok,

The hoster ask to set NETMASK=“255.255.255.255”. it’s 32 no ?

Well this is indeed a rather odd setup, having two IP addresses and the default gateway in three completely different networks, with /32 netmasks… I’m afraid to make any sense of that, I’d need to take a look at the system myself when it is in operation and fiddle around with it. Right now I can’t ping or trace either of your IPs.
By the way, why do you have an additional virtual network card with a separate MAC in the VM, instead of just assigning an additional IP to the primary network card? Since both are virtual, I don’t really see the usefulness of that.
Thank for all.
i’ve run the server now.
It’s a test server (the ips is used on the morning in France for other use)
how do you can to take access ? (you want root access ? where can i give you that ?)
I ask to my hoster if i can have only one mac address for all my ips…
after that, where i can tel at virtualmin the new ips ?
Only on VirtualMin -> Addresses and Networking ??
Thanks
I’ve read something on the web : http://www.murmuran.net/fr/2013/03/13/serveur-dédié-ovh-deux-ip-fail-over-sur-la-même-vm-kvm
i’ve test this
echo “2 178.33.40.226” > /etc/iproute2/rt_tables
route add -host 176.31.182.254 dev eth2
route add default gw 176.31.182.254 dev eth2
ip route add default via 176.31.182.254 dev eth2 table 178.33.40.226
ip rule add from 176.31.182.254 lookup 178.33.40.226 prio 1000
ip route flush table cache
but after that, i can ping eth2, but cannot ping the eth0
an idea ?
This kind of address setup is not really something I’ve seen before, but I could try.
Are you using an instant messenger? Please tell me your screen name(s) if so.
Hello,
Thanks for your help, but i’ve choose to set the IPs on one MAC ADDR…
It’s ok now 
Thanks
