Linux 1 NIC 2 IPs on different networks, want to bind one apache instance only to second IP.

Hi,

I have a Linux box with only a NIC, I have been assigned 2 ip address on different networks, and of course different default GWs, currently I have activated only one of them (IP-A) in the usual way, and it works.

IP-A is let's say 10.0.0.20 with default gw: 10.0.0.1
IP-B is let's say 192.168.1.20 with default gw: 192.168.0.1

Apache is working let's name it Apache-A

I need to set a new apache server only for IP-B, that will have different config from that running for IP-A, so what I am going to do, is to bind Apache instance A, only to IP-A, and will execute another instance with another config file for IP-B and will bind it only for that IP..

What I want to achieve is that requests comming from net-A be handled with apache-A and requests comming from net-B to be handled by apache-B.

My current Linux initialization scripts gets the IP-A, from DHCP... so dhcp sets the default gw, to net's-A 10.0.0.1.

So, what can I do to initialize the NIC (after getting IP-A address via DHCP), with the network-B IP,
and make sure that apache instance-B does not send back requests comming from IP-B trough DefaultGW-A, (it has to use defaultGW-B)?

The first step is simple:

ifconfig eth:0 192.168.1.20 up

What follows?, "ip" command?, "route" command?, "iptables" ??.......

Simple, just have to separate Listen and two separate VirtualHost definitions in you httpd.conf e.g.

Listen 11.22.33.44:80
Listen 22.33.44.55:80


<VirtualHost 11.22.33.44:80>
...
</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost 22.33.44.55:80>
...
</VirtualHost>

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/vhosts/ip-based.html
you can not have 2 active gateways by default; Using routers, you can setup policy routing.

If you follow this tutorial, you will find this is what you are trying to accomplish:

Last line in question post states: (IP based virtual hosts is not a solution)

rfc1180:

almost, almost, however I have no access to the server kernel, neither allowed to recompile and use a new kernel, however I do have root access.

Do you know if there is a way to know if such options are already active in my current kernel?..

[*] TCP/IP networking
[*] IP: advanced router
[*] IP: policy routing
[*] IP: use netfilter MARK value as routing key

TCP/IP is of course present :)

(/proc/config.gz is NOT available :( , however proc exists and have some nodes there... )

>[*] IP: policy routing

>however I do have root access.

Looks like you are all set  policy routing is built in and not as a module, so you should be all set to go.

I'm sorry, I copied verbatim the options from the url you posted, I was trying to list the required options..

What I meant was:

How can I know if I have the following options enabled in my current kernel?:

- TCP/IP networking
- IP: advanced router
- IP: policy routing
- IP: use netfilter MARK value as routing key

Guess what?..

Config is available, (I searched days ago and it wasn't... :S )

Do you think, that my kernel is readay for that?..

Hi, I was unable to test configuration posted by you, due to techincal issues on the server.

Since these are local problems, I am almos sure your posted comment will do the trick once these issues are resolved.

So I am accepting the solution.
