Just add `netmask 0xffffffff' to the end of the alias_ed0 line. Certainly worked for me in my test setup here. That should allow to lose all thost routes. (that is assuming of course that the IP address of the ed0 card is on the same subnet as the aliases...) Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
