Well I want to treat interface1 as my primary route for most things 
(cvsup, lynx, etc, etc..).. and treat  interface2 as if it was an 
alias'ed IP.. But for some reason when I boot up with rc.conf like the 
way I have it below, you can not reach interface2 from the internet nor 
can you reach the internet from interface2.. I can only get to other 
machines that are on the same subnet as interface2..
