What we are trying to accomplish is to add an ip alias to the vswif0 interface that is part of a routed subnet and have the VM's use the routed subnet address space.
The problem that we have run into is that when you add an alias to the interface, the console in the Virtual Infrastructure client stops working. It shows the time out error "a connection attempt failed because the connected party did not repond
after a period of time, or established connection failed because
connected host has failed to repond".
When the alias is there and the forward chain policy is allow, traffic can flow from the public internet on the outside of the ESX server to the VM. I have tried adding the proxy fix to /etc/vmware/config but that did not fix the problem. Any thoughts on the issue?
