I created and destoryed, brought up and down a vlan... now it is not accepting an IP.... what does the 'File exists' mean?

#ifconfig vlan9
vlan9: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM>
        ether 00:30:48:5c:ba:9c
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        vlan: 9 parent interface: em0

# ifconfig vlan9 10.5.43.225/27
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists

Also, I don't have the IP/net assigned on any IPs:
# ifconfig | grep inet
        inet 10.5.40.8 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 10.5.42.254 netmask 0xffffff80
        inet 64.215.30.154 netmask 0xfffffffc
        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
        inet 10.9.212.1 netmask 0xfffffe00
        inet 10.5.41.1 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 10.9.2215.225 netmask 0xffffffe0
        inet 10.9.215.9 netmask 0xfffffffc
        inet 10.77.0.6 netmask 0xffffff00
        inet 10.5.42.126 netmask 0xffffff80
        inet 10.99.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00

probably a reboot will fix it, but if anyone has seen this oddness, let me know if you found out what caused it.
