I made a script called /etc/rc.ifconfig, I suppose this should be
/usr/local/etc for technical correctness, but it works nicer than
the ifconfig_ed0_aliasX types in /etc/rc.conf, I make rc.local call
rc.ifconfig- This is what it looks like:
-- rc.ifconfig start --
#!/bin/sh
echo -n 'Binding Aliased IPs...'
i=3
j=128
while test ${i} -lt ${j} ; do
/sbin/ifconfig ed0 inet 209.104.122.${i} netmask 0xffffffff alias 2>/dev/null
i=`/bin/expr ${i} + 1`
done
echo " done"
-- rc.ifconfig end --
