Classic error. You need to read this part of the ifconfig(8) man page
more carefully:
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. T=
his
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wis=
hes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface. If the addr=
ess
is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given. Usually
0xffffffff is most appropriate.
ie. only one address (per network) on the interface can have the
'real' netmask. The others (ie all of your aliases) should use
0xffffffff or 255.255.255.255. Or to put it another way, the bitwise
'and' of the IP number and the netmask must be different for every
address configured on the interface.
Cheers,
Matthew
