List, I have been using the 'ifconfig' command in conjunction with the 'route' command to add ip aliases to the ethernet interface in my freebsd box. After experimenting a little I have found that I do not need to use the 'route' command at all for the addresses to work. I simply use: ifconfig vx0 inet 208.239.248.xxx netmask 255.255.255.xxx alias and it adds the ip numbers and the route in the kernels routing table. My question is: Do I really need to be adding a route for each IP or can I just simply use the 'ifconfig' command to add ip aliases?? What is the CORRECT way of doing this?? I only ask because after going through the e-mail archives and tutorials I have seen examples in using both. Thank you in advance. -- Phillip Ryker ---------------------------- SkyNet Internet Services 1549 Old Bridge Rd.
