" How many IP addresses can I assign to a single network interface
under 2.0-950412? I wrote a script to add 57 unused IP addresses from
our class C to the ed1 interface on my FreeBSD box, and it responded
to all of them. What's the limit? 255? Unlimited?"
Hmm. Are you sure you didn't sequentially assign 57 separate addresses,
one after another, to the same device, so that when you were done, you
left it configured to the IP of the last address you'd ifconfig'd it with ?
Just curious ...
