aliasing. that's the solution i always knew to use. think it was added in linux 2.x. edit: guess it's been deprecated in recent kernels and it was added to linux 1.2 in 1995. apparently now the ip networking stack just understands multiple addresses per interface. defeating time_wait is a bad idea, the source ephemeral port is how routers, firewalls, nats and other hosts identify a stream. reusing too soon can confuse all of them.
