On my FreeBSD 2.2.5 server I need to assign at least one more IP address to the ethernet card (only one, not even a slot free for an additional card). So I did ifconfig ed1 inet 192.168.0.8 alias ifconfig -a shows the additional address together with the already assigned one (192.168.0.1) and from other stations, I can also access it. However, on the server itself no route is created (netstat -nr) for this new virtual interface, neither can the server access itself (ping, telnet or anything) on this virtual address. Both addresses, .1 and .8 are on the same subnet. Did I miss something or is this the way FreeBSD is supposed to behave? I often do this kind of stuff on Solaris because there are not enough sbus slots for the number of token ring interfaces required. On Solaris the new virtual interface gets a name of its own (tr0 for the physical interface, tr0:1, tr0:2, tr0:3 etc. for the added virtual ones) and also the route entries are created accordingly.
