I have a FreeBSD server with the following IP addresses:

10.0.1.111
10.0.1.112

This is accomplished with the following commands and were they are located:
ifconfig_fxp0="inet 10.0.1.111  netmask 255.255.255.0" <- sysconfig
defaultrouter="10.0.1.1" <- sysconfig

ifconfig fxp0 inet 10.0.1.112 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias <- rc.local

I can ping both addresses.  I run apache which services both IP addresses.

>From the server itself I can ping the 10.0.1.111 address.  I cannot ping the
10.0.1.112 address from the server.

The ping returns the following info:

PING 10.0.1.112 (10.0.1.112): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: wrote 10.0.1.112 64 chars, ret=-1

Why can't I ping the aliased address from the server?

Any help is appreciated,
Ray
