Hi,

the documentation in the command-reference regarding the alias-command is confusing me.

Syntax:
alias interface_name mapped_ip real_ip [netmask]

In the example, the real_ip of the server is 10.7.7.150, but there was a mistake in DNS-configuration and the name points to 10.70.70.150 instead. You should use alias to fix the problem until the entry is corrected.

As the real_ip of the server is 10.7.7.150, I'd expect the right configuration to go like

 Code:
alias (INSIDE) 10.70.70.150 10.7.7.150 255.255.255.255


But it doesn't work like that, you have to swap the IPs:

 Code:
alias (INSIDE) 10.7.7.150 10.70.70.150 255.255.255.255


I'm sure if you see it from the right perspective, this all makes sense. I just don't get it! \:\)
