OK I have not used multi-port ethernet cards before - it
should be simple enough but for some reason I am hitting
problems. (The FreeBSD installation tool for 4.7 does not
help with configuring multiple NICS - it creates a new hosts
file each time!!)

de0, de1, de2, de3 and le0 are my devices.

Ip allocation        xxx.xxx.xxx.2
                           xxx.xxx.xxx.3
                           xxx.xxx.xxx.4
                           xxx.xxx.yyy.aaa
                           ccc.ddd.eee.fff
as IP Addresses for the devices.

3 NICS are on one sub net and two NIC's  on others.

If I need to allocate individual hostnames for each IP
address how do configure them. Do I do that in /etc/hosts?
Does FreeBSD only recognize a single hostname for a kernel?

What do I do about loopback?

The hostnames are not within the same domain even when there
are on the same subnet.

Some guidance appreciated.

David
