I added the lines ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet anotherserverip netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet anotherserverip netmask 255.255.255.0" to rc.conf but haven't rebooted, I'm a bit nervous that something's not quite right. When I do: ifconfig fxp0 inet myextractip netmask 255.255.255.0 add I get the error: ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists I get the same error if I run it: ifconfig fxp0 inet myextractip netmask 255.255.255.0 alias What am I missing?
