i have a similar problem that has been buggin me for the longest time

here is my rc.conf example for ip#000.000.00.00:

ifconfig_vx0_alias22="inet 000.000.00.00  netmask 0xffffffc0" #test

how could i get this to work from the command line??

this would be an amazing help because everytime i add a new ip alias i
reboot

thanks

pete
