You could change the interface settings in rc.conf, and /etc/rc.d/netif <interface> restart. I've added/removed aliased interfaces in a similar fashion, and haven't experienced hiccups. You should, however, double check your service applications that listen on particular IP addresses to make sure they are going to behave after netif restarts, as well as after a reboot. Certain changes, for example apache, require the service to be restarted as well. Regards. -- Glen Barber
