When specifying IP aliases, I seem to be able to get to them correctly whether I specify de0 (network interface) or lo0 as the interface to alias. Most of the examples I have seen use the ethernet IF as the one to alias ... is there a reason for this? If the lo0 shouldn't work, I must be doing something wrong ... if it is supposed to work, would it increase overhead as opposed to the de0 approach? Or reduce it? TIA! -Richard
