I am trying to use PicoBSD from Luigi Rizzo's Dummynet howto, 
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ip_dummynet/ but I am not able to get 
more than one ifconfig_alias to be recognized by the system. My rc.conf 
has the following;

network_interfaces="lo0 rl0 rl1"
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 139.142.90.250 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_rl1="inet 139.142.165.225 netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_rl1_alias0="inet 139.142.164.241 netmask 255.255.255.240"
ifconfig_rl1_alias1="inet 139.142.165.222 netmask 255.255.255.224"
ifconfig_rl1_alias2="inet 139.142.163.1 netmask 255.255.255.128"
ifconfig_rl1_alias3="inet 139.142.165.65 netmask 255.255.255.224"

In the rc.network file;

alias=0

Which I assume is the default setting.

The problem is that only the alias0 is configured on boot up. If I 
change the alias= line to alias=1 then only alias1 is configured and the 
same for alias=2 then alias2 is configured.

Is this a limitation of the floppy/PicoBSD or I am missing something 
completely. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
