Even then things don't seem to be quite the same - for example, gated was still sending RIP packets to the wrong IP even after I redid the IPs and restarted it. ifconfig + alias + delete seems to be a fairly shonky combination. :) Cheers. -- Rowan Crowe http://www.rowan.sensation.net.au/ Sensation Internet Services http://www.sensation.net.au/ Melbourne, Australia Phone: +61-3-9388-9260 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
