You can use "ifconfig ... alias" to bind more than one IP address to a NIC; you must you a different subnet mask, however (usually 0xfffffff). You also can use netgraph (ng_many2one?) to trunk several NICs together for fault-tolerance. It was not clear to me which capability you were asking for, or maybe it simply is the case that you're asking why someone would do this? -- -Chuck
