Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I've done this in the past has been to specify the "real" netmask for the first alias in each extra subnet, and 255.255.255.255 for all other aliases. Otherwise the machine has little chance of interacting normally with broadcast traffic on the extra subnets... __ David Burren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
