for freeBSD this is the simplest:

i have the following lines in /etc/rc.conf:

ifconfig_lo0_alias1="inet 209.16.8.6 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias2="inet 209.16.8.7 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias3="inet 209.16.8.82 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias4="inet 209.16.8.87 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias5="inet 209.16.8.122 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias6="inet 209.16.8.10 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias7="inet 209.16.8.102 netmask 0xffffff00"
ifconfig_lo0_alias8="inet 209.16.8.206 netmask 0xffffff00"

the rc.network code reads these and does the ifconfig lines automatically.

the only other thing needed: if you want the world to actually "see" these
addresses, besides in apache, via ping, traceroute, etc, you need to turn
on the proxy arp in rc.conf thusly:

arpproxy_all="YES"

hoping this helps.

cheers,
jeff
