Hi, folks,

I got an answer from Boris.
But some modification is needed...
ifconfig command for alias set down state on ifconfig alias command.
So I must do as below.

in rc.conf (on our 2.2.2-RELEASE machine);

add below line,

ifconfig_vx0_alias0="inet 192.203.142.16 netmask 255.255.255.224
broadcast 192.203.142.31 up"
ifconfig_vx0_alias1="inet 192.203.142.17 netmask 255.255.255.224
broadcast 192.203.142.31 up"

So I must insert "up" to ifconfig command.

But it does not work at our FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT Feb-1997 version.
Do I have to do upgrade our server???
