| i was able to bind second ip to my NIC, it seems binding just fine
|
| alexus@~# ifconfig fxp0
| fxp0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
| inet 66.92.98.145 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 66.92.98.255
| inet 66.92.98.151 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 66.255.255.255
^^^^^^^^^^
You certainly don't want your netmask to be 255.0.0.0. In fact, for
aliased IPs in the same subnet as the main IP on the card, you want to
use 255.255.255.255.
