Multiple IP Addresses

[Abdul Salam]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for that. It works fine now. But, there were not much useful
information on the FreeBSD site about this. Here is the example given in
the "man" of rc.conf.

		   ifconfig_ed0_alias0=3D"inet 127.0.0.251 netmask
0xffffffff"
		   ifconfig_ed0_alias1=3D"inet 127.0.0.252 netmask
0xffffffff"
		   ifconfig_ed0_alias2=3D"inet 127.0.0.253 netmask
0xffffffff"
		   ifconfig_ed0_alias4=3D"inet 127.0.0.254 netmask
0xffffffff"

where all netmasks are the same.

Many Thanks,

-Abdul

Try using a netmask of 255.255.255.255 for all except one IP address on
the same netblock (also I assume the 255.25..0.0 is a typo :)
