Hi! 
I am having trouble configuring my server for virtual ips.
Its 'main' ip is 152.160.182.16 (ifconfig)
I do the following

ifconfig ed0 inet 152.160.5.1 alias 
route add -host 152.160.5.1 localhost

The route command fails with 'file exists' error, and I cant ping
the server on 152.160.5.1, even from a local machine (same LAN).
Now, I have no problem aliasing to ips on same subnet, ie., 
aliasing to 152.160.182.224, for example.  So I suspect this is a 
problem with netmask on ifconfig, but I cant figure out what it 
should be.

Thanks,

--Stan
