I've systems with multiple NICs. This gives problems with the gateway and hostname that are configured per NIC.
My proposal is: - Make the Hostname and Gateway a system wide field instead of per NIC. This information can be used to generate the /etc/sysconfig/network - Add an optional dnsname field to the NIC that can be used to provision the DNS or generate a hosts files - Add a route field to the NICs there entries can be added in the format ipaddress:netmask:gateway. This is used to generate route-ethX
Any toughts?
