how does curl-loader use RTNETLINK

[Javier M. <jam...@in...>]

Hi, first thanks for your excellent program, very useful.
I have some questions about the use of sockets.
When I load a client with a virtual IP I understand curl-loader uses
RTNETLINK for this, and when I run it again with the same config file
(same client ip) appears the following:

add_secondary_ip_addrs - setting secondary IP 10.111.111.150
rtnl_talk(): RTNETLINK answers: File exists
add_secondary_ip_addrs - note: probably, the IP-address
"10.111.111.150/24" already exists.

this is not really a problem when using the loader, but when I use the
same ip used by another machine (e.g. a virtual machine), the virtual
client replaces it (supplanting) and the host became unreachable (even
when curl-loader is down).
Do you know how to delete the file which is referenced by rtnl_talk()
?, or if there is another way to solve this problem.

thanks very much for your help.

greetings from chile!!
