Does CA fully support virtual IPs on a linux host?
For applications, there is no difference between virtual and real network interfaces.
The CA client supports virtual IPs. (That does not need specific code in the client, so it always has.)
Only the CAS server supports binding to specific IP addresses (virtual or real), the rsrv server (IOC) does not.
Or are we still waiting on the merge fo rsrv and pcas?
Either that, or someone extending rsrv to support binding to a specific IP address (and honor the environment variables that control this).
