So what is the exact problem? that you forgot a word and the interface got something assigned which was not intended? If you would do a ifconfig rl0 www.freebsd.org, you would get www.freebsd.org assigned to rl0, if i'd use something like ifconfig em1 bleah and bleah does not exist it will let the current information say alive. If it did exist it would have assigned me that adress instead. Perhaps you can consider mailing the freebsd-net mailinglist the next time that you encounter such an issue since this feels like a user question instead of a problem. If i missed the point you tried to make, please elaborate so that I can try to figure who can help you etc. Thanks again!
