You misunderstand the rc.conf implementation. :) Look at it as
a strict shell script and you suddenly see that you either have
your de(4) interface configured with one address or the other.
Setting the very same variable again will override whatever has
been there before. The "first" statement will never have any
meaning.
Read the "man 5 rc.conf" manpage, search for "/alias" and make
your rc.conf look like this
ifconfig_de0="inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_de0_alias0="inet 213.51.186.212 netmask 255.255.252.0"
and everything should be fine.
