All aliases for any one NIC on the same network must be 0xffffffff. If you have an alias which is on another network, then the first alias on that network must use that networks netmask and then all the other aliases on the same network use 0xffffffff. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/configtuning-virtual-hosts.html But when you have two different networks on one NIC, I think you may have to do some routing (I'm lucky, I just do the routing on the Cisco switches that all our servers are plugged into :). Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routing.html Also google for or dual homed or something like that. I can't remember exactly what you have to do because I haven't done it in so long. -John
