>> aliases should have a netmask of 255.255.255.255, as seen in ifconfig(8) > why? i regularly use aliases with masks smaller than /32, on a 3.1 > system e.g: well, it turned out that if i boot with the alias netmask of 255.255.255.0 it does not work delete the alias ifconfig the alias with a /32 it still does not work but if i boot with a /32 alias, it works! randy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
