Chad,
I was never able to go beyond one alias myself following the same directions
you have...  But, I do know that I couldn't get alias1 to work, so I used
the command:
Ifconfig_xl0_alias0="inet 192.168.14.5  netmask 255.255.255.0"
                 ^^^
I think you also have a mistake in your netmask on alias1 - no subnet mask
should be 255.255.255.255 if you are configuring an IP on a nic - it should
be 255.255.255.0 if you are on the same subnet as the first ip.  It may be
stopping at alias1 and not going further because of this (*if* this is a
true copy of what you have in your rc.conf file).  Anyone with ideas as to
why more aliases than one might not be working, would be much appreciated
help on my end.

Steve
