Actually... the netmask for the first IP should be /24 (255.255.255.0) but
the aliases should be 255.255.255.255....

Here's an example for /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.10.10.1  netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 10.10.11.1  netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 10.10.12.1  netmask 255.255.255.255"

Unless you're going to setup packet filtering or the kernel based firewall,
then there is no need to activate the options you were told you needed....

The basic kernel supports mutiple IP address aliases by default.
