My Two Cents:
If you alias your card like this:
ifconfig ed0 inet 196.7.18.130 netmask 255.255.255.240
ifconfig ed0 alias 196.7.18.129 netmask 255.255.255.255
Then you _never_ see the alias(s).
$ ifconfig ed0
ed0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 196.7.18.130 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 196.7.18.143
