The purpose is to run separate services on each NIC. I have the box set up with my rc.conf containing the following lines: defaultrouter="..." hostname="..." ifconfig_xl0="inet ... netmask 255.255.255.224" ifconfig_sk0="inet ... netmask 255.255.255.224 mtu 9000" The router and IP addresses are all on the same subnet, as I previously mentioned. Unfortunately, the first IP address seems not to work (I can ssh to the second, but not the first). Is there something special I need to do to the routing to get this to work? Anything to the kernel?
