Hello,

Does this work on stable/9 or only on current ? If not, are there
any plans to MFC ? I ask because I don't see the
ifconfig_IF_aliases syntax in /etc/defaults/rc.conf on a newly
built stable/9 box.

Thanks for this by the way - it _greatly_ simplifies rc.conf
on my jail hosts, very nice.

Best regards,
