The best quick way to find out is to use webmin www.webmin.com and add an extra IP via its web interface and then check the /etc/rc.conf file to see what it did. A real world example tailor made to exactly what you want as what you get from webmin is much better then a reference man page that doesn't have any examples such as man ipconfig or man rc.conf Here is an example anyway ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="inet anotherserverip netmask 255.255.255.224" or you can just do it on the command like and put the "add" after it ifconfig fxp0 inet myextractip netmask 255.255.255.0 add I have forgoten to put the "add" keyword a compile of times on realworld servers and brought the server down. And most times I am specifically thinking about the "add" keyword and not to forget it :) ah well.
