A while ago I asked about this subject - and was correctly told that secondary / additional addresses bound to an interface under FreeBSD (I'm using 2.2.2 & 2.2.5) have to have a netmask of 0xffffffff (255.255.255.255). What happens if I have to do the following: ep0: 192.168.100.1 netmask 255.255.255.242 then I want to add: ep0: 10.10.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.252 (above are obviously fake addresses) Do I still have to munge the netmask on the second address to 255.255.255.255? - or is this a 'different' case as the 2 IP numbers are in fact on completely different networks? (i.e. not adding a 2nd IP address on the same network as the first)? Regards, Karl Pielorz
