When you use the 192 netmask for the alias your are adding a *net* route to the routing table. You should have seen an error message like harvest.beach.net # ifconfig ed1 205.19.184.8 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists because that route has already been added. When you use the 255 netmask ifconfig adds a *host* route.
