Things like that, yes. Thanks. Would have never guessed that from:
The following parameters may be set with ifconfig:
alias Establish an additional network address for this interface. This
is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes
to accept packets addressed to the old interface.
Also, let us not forget rc.network. That is, after all, what iterates the
aliases <g>. This is just a for the record, mind you.
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
