i have a similar problem that has been buggin me for the longest time here is my rc.conf example for ip#000.000.00.00: ifconfig_vx0_alias22="inet 000.000.00.00 netmask 0xffffffc0" #test how could i get this to work from the command line?? this would be an amazing help because everytime i add a new ip alias i reboot thanks pete "Paul T.
