I am currently building this now. I come from a Linux background, and must say, FBSD is very "smooth," fast, and fun to use. I need some help regarding ethernet aliasing. I use djbdns for my DNS, specifically, tinydns and dnscache for all my builds.. Since my LAN has an internal cache, this goes on another aliased ethernet, as I cannot have tinydns and dnscache on the same IP address. In Linux, to alias an ether card, I would use something like this in my etc/sysconfig/network dir. ifcfg-eth0 with a 192.168.0.100 and ifcfg-eht0:0 with a 192.168.0.120 How would I do this in FBSD, setting up an aliased ether to an Ip address? my current rc.conf file currently contains just the address of the machine, as such. ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0" Thanks for any input. -- Gary
