I was just about to do a reboot with my config before I caught your message. I'll update the config and run with it. While perusing the 'net in order to try to find a solution prior to posting, I came across a couple of other posts (I can't remember if it was specific to this list) in which the recommendation appeared to be incorrect for this exact setup I desired (ie: the recommendation failed miserably). I'll post back with the results in case anyone else here has been interested in 'Cisco style' (as I for some reason refer to them as) sub-ints on FreeBSD. Steve
