AFAIK dhcpcd will remove all IP addresses on an interface (i.e., all |
| 18 |
addresses listed by 'ip addr sh dev eth0') before it sets the interface's |
| 19 |
address using the values provided by the DHCP server. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Thus, your configuration will work only if dhcpcd receives an address soon |
| 22 |
enough before the static address(es) gets assigned. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
If the dynamic address assignment is delayed, then the static addresses |
| 25 |
will be removed by dhcpcd, resulting in just one address on the interface. |
| 26 |

Of course, this is pure conjecture on my part. If there's anyone more |
| 28 |
familiar with how addresses gets assigned in Gentoo, feel free to correct |
| 29 |
me. |
