I have a NIC I need to answer to two IP addresses. Lets say 
hypothetically I have something like:

ifconfig_dc0="inet 192.168.1.6 mtu 1462 netmask 255.255.255.0"

in my rc.conf file. If the machine is up, I type something like:

ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.1.16

to add the second ip address. If I want this to happen automatically on 
startup (FBSD 4.2-stable) I would add:

ifconfig_dc0="alias 192.168.1.16"

to my rc.conf, right? I'm trying to verify this because if the machine 
goes down, and comes back up, and that doesn't work, I'd hate to have to 
rely on my memory to check on it. Thanks in advance for confirming or 
correcting my suspicions on this.
