I have 2.0.18...

How do I produce an alias, so I can bind different servers to same
physical ethernet on two different IP addresses?

Normally, bind works for servers wit IN_ADDR_ANY.

How would you select which address to bind to?

It seems all the services are muxed onto the new alias, I would
behavior where you have to start up the services individually.

(Essentially, I want to compare the behavior of a before/after server
running at the same time).
