As far as I knew, if an IP alias is in the same network as a previous IP address which the machine has then the netmask must be given as 255.255.255.255. This is to prevent the creation of a duplicate route to the network. This has always been the advice given on the mailing lists, I think. Can you point me to some docs which say otherwise? If so they probably need to be updated. David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
