Do I remember hearing some caveats about the use of ifconfig's metric
under FreeBSD?

Another question: Is there a reason that the following sequence:

  ifconfig ep0 inet 192.168.13.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 down
  ifconfig ed0 inet 192.168.13.1 netmask 255.255.255.0

configures ep0 to be the selected interface?  More to the point, would
it be useful if I made the changes to cause interfaces configured as
down to not go into the routing table at configuration time?

Best,
joelh
