Hmm... check your netmask on the alias line in /etc/rc.conf... do 
you really mean for it be /32?  Although you *can* write your 
netmask in hex (0xffffffff), the dotted-quad equivelant is 
255.255.255.255, which leaves little room for other hosts on that 
network.  As it is an alias for your regular /24 address on xl0, in 
most cases I'd guess you should be using 255.255.255.0 for your 
netmask, or 0xffffff00, if you prefer hex.  Perhaps someone on the 
list knows of a tutorial you could read on subnetting?

Hope this helps,
-Charlie
