This may be well known by now, but since it's in mind ...

I'd sent mail in earlier asking why, if I set an alias IP address
on an interface, I could not telnet to that interface or ping it
from the same box it is in.

ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.4
ifconfig ed0 1.2.3.5 alias netmask 0xffffffff

on 1.2.3.4, ping 1.2.3.5 hangs, etc.

It turns out that (evidently) this is a problem with the vx driver,
since it does work (on the SAME box) if I'm using an 'ed' interface.
Whoever handles the vx driver might look into this.
