Wait until after 2.0.5, I'm going to need this functionality for work (setting up a web site that supports virtual domains) and after playing around with it I think ifconfig needs to be changed to handle it a lot better. The current implementation isn't robust enough. A new version of ifconfig would mean your current /etc files would work. -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
