Subject:   Routing problem 2 ISA NICs on one machine

Hey folks!

I was wondering if anybody has had any experience with the routing of
2 ISA nics on one FreeBSD machine?

One of my working collegues said that I should have a separate
loopbacl address for each NIC interface as I've tested it before with
ping (each nick plugged to a different port of a hub) and when I ping
the second nic's ip address, the first nic responds! :|

My co-worker recommended something like this:

loopback for ep0: 127.0.0.1
loopback for ep1: 127.1.0.1
....
loopback for ep2: 127.2.0.1 

...

and so forth.

Is this correct? If so how do I make it so? By editing /etc/rc.conf ?

I would need an example.

Thanks for all help!

Mark
