I'm sure this is in the handbook. If it isn't, it should be.
ifconfig lo0 209.48.24.1 netmask 0xffffffff alias ; route add 209.48.24.1 \
127.0.0.1
....
ifconfig lo0 209.48.24.62 netmask 0xffffffff alias ; route add 209.48.24.62 \
127.0.0.1
On the router add a route to the FreeBSD box for the subnet.
