I have a linode running cPanel software. I have 2 IP's on the server and I have the default gateway setup to use eth0

However, the server keeps defaulting back to eth0:1 which is not what my cpanel is licensed to. For a while it would flip in and out between which IP it was responding to, but now if I check what its going out as using lynx and an ip address site, it shows up as teh secondary.

Does anyone have a work around for this?

It sounds like you haven't configured static networking. Have you used this guide?

ok I did eth0 and eth0:1

maybe the system is skipping over to eth0:1 instead of eth0:0?

meaning because i didn't create eth0:0 it's defaulting to eth0:1 for some reason.

ok i believe I got it - just hoping the DHCP of linode network doesn't blip it back...

Code:
root@server1 [~]# route -n

0.0.0.0         69.164.221.1    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         97.107.141.1    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


that was showing 2 default gateway routes.

Code:
root@server1 [~]# route del default gw 69.164.221.1 eth0


removed that secondary route that I didn't want. No need to network restart, server started coming up as the IP I wanted.

DHCP only gives your linode it's networking info if you've got it setup to use DHCP. If you have static networking configured, then DHCP has nothing to do with you.
