I am not sure if this works in 3.3-REL since I don't have access to a
3.3 machine or to the sources of 3.3 for now. However, in my 4.STABLE
installation I can do:
# ifconfig lo0 inet 10.0.0.1 alias
and the required alias is ready to use. Then when I am bored of it:
# ifconfig lo0 inet 10.0.0.1 -alias
and the alias is gone. It's all in the manpage of ifconfig :)
