if you are trying to get one interface to handle multiple ip addresses
than you need to configure each additional ip address as an alias.

you can do this by the command line or in /etc/rc.conf:
by the command line:
    ifconfig ed1 10.0.1.150 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
in /etc/rc.conf:
if this is your first interface...
    ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.0.5  netmask 255.255.255.0"
this is how you can create an alias.
    ifconfig_ed1_alias0="inet 192.168.0.6  netmask 255.255.255.0"

if you do a 'man rc.conf' you can get more information
