Let me try this again, (sorry about the line wraps in the last msg). Here's a cut/paste from my rc.conf. At least this seems to work for me or then again maybe I just don't understand what you are asking. I've changed my IP's to phony values. I have 128 IP addresses in a single NIC card. The comments are just so that I know which acct that IP is pointed at. Hope that makes it a little clearer. network_interfaces="fxp0 lo0" #List of interfaces ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" #Default loopback ifconfig_fxp0="inet 63.169.99.2 netmask 255.255.255.128" #dle ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet 63.169.99.3 netmask 255.255.255.128" #vcf ifconfig_fxp0_alias1="inet 63.169.99.4 netmask 255.255.255.128" #bns ifconfig_fxp0_alias2="inet 63.169.99.5 netmask 255.255.255.128" #abc ifconfig_fxp0_alias3="inet 63.169.99.6 netmask 255.255.255.128" #def etc...
