I received a few answers pointing me to use the virtual capabilities of the
Web server, but in fact I was looking for this capability for Web BROWSERS
applications. Because I don`t know of any web browser that has this
capability I was looking for a facility (of any type) to allow me to force
a Web Browser application to use the virtual interface IP address in a
SUN machine.
My problem is:
I have a restricted interval of IP`s that are allowed to go through my
firewall, I don`t want to give Internet access to ALL users in my
machine (default IP), but I want to give access to some. For this,
I want to configure a virtual interface in the machine with one of
the reserved IP`s and set a _virtual machine_ to use the virtual
interface IP. All application running in this _virtual machine_ will
use the IP of the virtual interface. (clear! :) )
