Fellow FreeBSD'ers!

Here is a quick question: is there any way to distinguish a hostname
by an interface, like with a Sun box? That is, to have on lo0 anything
but a 'localhost', or something else, in addition to localhost, and on
tun0/ppp0/sl0 the hostname assigned by an ISP? Now, I don't know why
anyone would do that to a poor box, yet...

Yours freely,

David Kleiner
