You setup aliases in rc.conf: ifconfig_bge0="inet 2.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_bge0_alias0="inet 2.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255" ( you need a 32bit mask on any aliases especially ones on the same subnet) then, if you do this you will see ARP complaints. To quiet that up add this to your sysctl.conf: net.link.ether.inet.log_arp_wrong_iface=0 Hope this helps!
