It doesn't seem to work for me. There is a long pause between the
command and the error:
# ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.238 netmask 0xffffffff alias
ifconfig: 0xffffffff: bad value
> root@khavrinen$ ifconfig ed0 alias 18.26.25.25 netmask 255.255.255.255
But if I use 255.255.255.255 for the netmask, it works! Shouldn't
both notations be correct?
