What I was saying is that the man page says that if you need to have several IPs from the same subnet on the same interface, the first one has the correct mask, and the rest have 0xffffffff. > > Remember: documenting a bug doesn't fix it (else MS soft would be > much more stable....)

Read above: the first IP from *each* subnet must have the right mask. The remaining Ips from those subnets must have 0xffffffff. I know, that is not exactly what the man page says, but you can deduce it. Again, I remenber a mail (to -questions o -hackers) explaining why it has to be that way, and IIRC there is a good reason, but I dont have it handy.
