IP allocation conflict resolution: The IP allocation conflict resolution dialog

## 3. The IP allocation conflict resolution dialog

You are allowed to enter up to 4 IP numbers per host name. If there is a conflict on at least one IP number, linuxconf will present you a dialog showing you each IP number and the suggested update mode. Mostly, linuxconf may or may not update the reverse mapping associated with each IP number.

The dialog appears with a check box for each IP number. Those with a conflict have the check box in the "unchecked" state. This mean that if you simply "accept" the dialog as is, linuxconf won't update the reverse mapping of the IP numbers where there is a conflict.

By switching the state of the check box, you effectivly tell linuxconf to update or leave unchanged the reverse lookup for the given IP.
