Replying to myself since posting the first time. I had the need to add
another IP address in the same subnet as the existing IP on em0, a
virtual IP (em0:0?). I try to add an IP to the em0 and it gives me an
error, see below, but seems to work fine on em1:

esmtp# ifconfig em1 alias 66.129.101.220 255.255.255.248
esmtp# ifconfig -a
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
        inet 66.129.101.198 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 66.129.101.207
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe29:847c%em0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
        ether 00:30:48:29:84:7c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
em1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
        inet 66.129.101.219 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 66.129.101.223
        inet6 fe80::230:48ff:fe29:847d%em1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
        inet 66.129.101.220 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.248
        ether 00:30:48:29:84:7d
        media: Ethernet autoselect
        status: no carrier
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
        inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
        inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
esmtp# ifconfig em1 alias 66.129.101.195 255.255.255.240
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

Afterwards, now I am getting this message in the syslog similar to the
others I originally posted:

Mar 10 19:39:24 esmtp kernel: arp: 66.129.101.198 is on lo0 but got
reply from 00:30:48:29:84:7c on em1

Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong?
