That's a supported configuration with network_interfaces=3DAUTO. I use it on the server I'm writing this from. For instance you can do something like: ifconfig_fxp0_name=3D"iatel" ifconfig_iatel=3D"up" ipv4_addrs_iatel=3D"#.#.#.#/26" ifconfig_em0_name=3D"priv" ifconfig_priv=3D"inet 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" The use of ipv4_addrs_iatel is mostly just testing the feature. -- Brooks --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFKJUTVXY6L6fI4GtQRAgvFAJ45CZfY/nNrswx6FCRojk0ZEfXrIgCeM039 //jailNjkKC6U9PF8nVgoVE= =Hsyk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --SLDf9lqlvOQaIe6s--
