I try to avoid doing complex routing things on my servers. I leave
that up to the NOC guys. They can do that on their fancy cisco
switches. I want just one route per interface :-)

I just wanted to add a seperate route/ip for the second interface,
make it permanent by adding it to /etc/rc.conf and tell my FreeBSD to
pretend it's booting up by running /etc/rc.d/netif restart. As others
pointed out I forgot /etc/rc.d/route.
