"ifconfig is complaining about duplicate entries for IP information.

To make life easier, you should configure rl1 with another completely different RFC1918 IP address. So if you're using 192.168.x.x for rl0, use an IP addr from the 172.16.x.x or 10.x.x.x ranges for rl1. Your set up appears to be that of a gateway. If so, google for "dual homed hosts" and have a read of what is required to set it all up. Hope this helps.
