Subject:   ip aliasing does not work

Ip aliasing does not seem to work when the primary ip is on a different
subnet than the aliased ips.  Here is what I have.  The ed0 interface is
configured for 152.160.182.16, netmask 255.255.255.0.

I want to add ip aliases like 152.160.5.2.  I do

ifconfig ed0 inet 152.160.5.2 alias
route add 152.160.5.2 localhost

This does NOT work. NOTE that the added alias is on a different subnet than
then original ip.  I have tried various masks for ifconfig, no luck.  
Moreover, the route command usually produces errors like 
writing to routing socket: File exists   or
writing to routing socket: No such process

I cant seem to add the proper OR modify the route added by ifconfig.
