the second ip adress should be assign like below
if the ip adress is on the same subnet you must use 255.255.255.255
as the netmask. if not use the appropriate netmask for the new ip
address you are adding.
 
ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255"

Subject: Two IP addresses for one interface


Is there any reason why one interface should NOT have two IP addresses ??
 
My reason is to do with testing NAT .... I've got a problem thats been
driving me
to distraction for ages & because it involves one of two tun's it costs a
mint to keep 
dialling the incoming line to test changes. If I can try things on a regular
ethernet 
interface I might have a chance of seeing whats not right without enriching
Tel$tra \any further.
 
I guess the second (private) address is assigned similarly to the first
(public) one
in /etc/rc.conf ??
