I'm a bit new to FreeBSD, and not quite sure how to add routes for virtual IPs
we host into the startup file.

I know that the commands:

ifconfig xl0 alias [new ip] netmask 0xffffffff
route add -host [new ip] -interface xl0

will add the ip and route to the routing table, but I can't seem to get this
into the startup scripts correctly. 

I have tried fiddling with the static_route command, but no success and its a
pain to have to reboot to try each new iteration

Is this what goes in rc.conf? /usr/local/etc/rc.d? 

if_config_xl0="alias [new ip] netmask 0xffffffff"
static_route="-host [new ip] -interface xl0"

We have a lot of IPs to add, maybe just use a script run at boot?

Thanks,
