I use my laptop at home (192.168.1.0/24) and at work (192.168.2.0/24). At the moment, in /etc I have rc.conf.home and rc.conf.work. Each of these has IP configs for the correct network. I also have resolv.conf.home and resolv.conf.work. I have a script that copies the appropriate conf files into place, and then I reboot. This all seems far more clumsy than needs be. Is there any better solution than this out there? Also, I note that if I have fxp0 set to my home address and add an alias to fxp0 of my work address, I am able to ping machines in my work network. All I then have to do is change my gateway, as it seems I can't have two routes for 0.0.0.0/0 (error message : route: writing to routing socket: File exists add net 0.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.1.30: File exists) Any tips on this would be great!
