Your approach is hard to implement because the files for networking data persistence are not the same on all distributions. The configuration on the fly is easier to implement.

But I'm curious, so can you explain your solution.

Maybe you did not understand me... :-)

I think adding/managing the ip addresses should not be part of ispcp - of course ispcp should be able to handle ip already "installed" addresses but the purpose of a tool like ispcp is - IMHO! - not to manage ip adresses (well, this may change with ipv6 - I don't know...).

ok, so "old fashioned" people add their additional ips using the distribution way (/etc/network/interfaces or /etc/sysconfig... etc) - and then they do not need the ispcp-network-script.
On the other hand: some guys do expect adding an ip in ispcp does the whole job in the background......

Maybe a note would be fine when adding an ip in the gui "please note that ispcp takes care about the ip creation..." (or similar...)

It's more a cumunication thing - when I add an ip in ispcp, I don't expect the tool to manage this ip in the system - IMHO it's only to tell ispcp that there is another ip...

well - I wanted to point on this.
