(from one new to IP aliasing) Went through the archives and think I'm on the right track but I would like confirmation before I potentially botch something vompletely. We have a class C license on a server with lo0 setup as xxx.xxx.xx.3 and a gateway of xxx.xxx.xx.12 The first portion of the class c is just about full and I would like to use the xxx.xxx.xx.32 - 63 for virtual hosting. I think, based on what I've read that I would make (for example) the following entry in the /etc/rc.conf file ifconfig lo0 xxx.xxx.xx.33 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias and thereby be able to use that IP address the same as any of the addresses between xxx.xxx.xx.0 - 31. Yes/No? If yes does this mean that I would have to make individual entries in the rc.conf file for each IP address I would like to use between xxx.xxx.xx.32 - 63? or is there a better way which would allow me to point all addresses between xxx.xxx.xx.32 - 63 to lo0 with a single entry? Alternatively I could make the entries in the etc/rc.conf.local file and use that file for this specific purpose which would make for more managable file organization.
