This is a pretty moronic question, but I've been searching RFC's on- and-off for a couple of weeks and can't find an answer. So I'm hoping someone here will know it offhand.
I've been looking through RFC's trying to find a clear statement that having two interfaces in the same subnet does not work, but can't find it that statement anywhere.
The OS in this case is Linux. I know it can be done with clever routing and prioritization and such, but this has to do with vanilla config, just setting up two interfaces in one network.
I would be grateful for a pointer to such an RFC statement, assuming it exists.
Why would an RFC prohibit this? Most _implementations_ do, but as far as network "rules" in general it is a valid configuration. -- TTFN, patrick
