You clearly didn't understand the question. To start with, you should use
all 1's in the alias, otherwise local routing gets screwed up.

This is what I need to do

ifconfig ep0 alias 1.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
ifconfig ep0 alias 1.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255

4.2 million aliases later...

ifconfig ep0 alias 255.255.255.255 netmask 255.255.255.255

This can't realistically be entered. I need it to respond to all IP's
except its ethernet broadcast network.
