apologies for taking so long to post the HOWTO. i've been testing the setup and it's working well, but recently i've tried to add multiple "dummy" interfaces ( one for each vps ) and am running in problems.

as you might recall, i'm bridging a dummy interface using a procedure similar to that outlined here [1]. i can add dummy0 [2] which i can move to a vps [3] but if i try to add a second dummy interface ( for a second vps ) i get an error [4]. so it would seem to make sense that i have to insmod more than 1 instance of the dummy module using a scheme similar to that outline here [5]. but when i try to load an additional dummy interface i get another error [6].

so, can anyone give my any hints on how to create multiple dummy interfaces on the hardware node so that each vps can have its own dummy interface?

[2] ifconfig dummy0 hw ether de:ad:be:ef:00:00
[3] /usr/sbin/vzctl set 101 --netdev_add dummy0 --save
[4] ifconfig dummy1 hw ether de:ad:be:ef:00:01
SIOCSIFHWADDR: No such device
