Hi folks,

Is there some ifconfig(8) trick I'm missing that will allow me to assign
an address and some aliases to an interface without bringing the
interface up?

I'm working on a redundant firewall system for a customer and if I can't
get this right with ifconfig(8), I'm in for a bit of messy scripting.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
