Snipped from man 8 ifconfig....

     alias   Establish an additional network address for this interface.  This
             is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes
             to accept packets addressed to the old interface.  If the address
             is on the same subnet as the first network address for this in-
             terface, a netmask of 0xffffffff has to be specified.
