Hi:

	Last week I installed FreeBSD (2.2.7 release) and I didn't have problems
(well, not a lot). Then I installed a web server (Apache 1.3.1) and again I
didn't have a lot of problems. But the problems arise when I tried to have
virtual hosts in the web server. It's necessary to configure the interface
(de0) with more than one IP, with the ifconfig command. I use the
following:

	ifconfig de0 inet 195.57.19.33 alias

And this is the response of the system:

	ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists.

I suposse it is an error. Nevertheless, the system accept the alias and I
can make ping to this alias from another computer of the network, but the
system does not recognize this alias, like it does not exist.

Next I modify the rc.conf file (at /etc) and add the following:

	ifconfig_de0_alias0="inet 195.57.19.33"
	ifconfig_de0_alias1="inet 195.57.10.34"

When I reboot the system, I obtain the following error messages:

	de0: abnormal interrupt: receive process stopped
	ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists.
	ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists.

And, of course, the system doesn't recognize the alias :(

I don't know where is the problem and why these messages appear, could
someone help me?

TIA


	Alonso
