Kernels are 2.0.17 and /etc/bootptab =

When I set up an alias for eth0 (ifconfig eth0:0 200.5.76.70) to host a
"virtual WWW server" this is what happens:
us? says that "200.5.76.70" replied and, ignoring the bootp fields TRIES TO
MOUNT FROM 200.5.76.70. nfsd/mountd ignores such a request and booting
fails.
This seems to be a bootpd problem + a kernel problem.
bootpd should no send an ip-alias to clients (offtopic =) )
nfsroot should mount from the ip address stated in the bootp
reply.
Am I wrong?
PS: My English is still in beta test. Sorry about the buggy language.. =)
