Well, yes, the rc.conf only gets parsed during start-up. You could basically execute the rc.network script, but preferred method is to activate those things manually via ifconfig. Respectively, first test with ifconfig, if it does what you want, and then edit t rc.conf to make sure that after a reboot all stays the same. You want to do: ifconfig rlx 192.168.99.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 x= Number of card the route shall be automatically set up. BTW: This normally goes above the ordinary newbie-horizon, those caliber is better suited on -questions...
