Greetings,

I've been fooling around with virtual domains under FreeBSD and I have a 
couple of questions.

I can setup ifconfig aliases with: 

ifconfig de0 alias xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 

and they seem to work fine with two exceptions. First, if I ping the 
alias domain from the host machine I get dup pings and secondly I can't 
traceroute to the domain from anywhere on the net.  Is this normal 
behaviour or do I need some additiona configuration?  Apache seems 
to work fine but the dup pings and the inability to traceroute seems 
a little "rough" at the edges.

Thanks,

Craig
