ahem, well, if you put an 'ifconfig eth0 down' into
rc.local it will also shutdown your eth0 interface, no?

the point here is, if you tell the tools to create _and_
remove the ip on startup and shutdown, they will do so.
period.

now for the syntax and/or changes to the config:

 'dev' = eth0 definitely means: please create that ip
 'nodev' definitely means, don't create that ip

 neither dev nor nodev should probably give an error
 (no idea what it currently does)

and of course, you might create a wiki page explaining
the stuff (but please check that it doesn't already
exist)

best,
Herbert
