True but the alias option in BSD only allows for assigning another IP address to an existing interface. Taking a second look at this request it appears to be more of a subinterface phenomenon and not an alias at all. As far as I recall FreeBSD does not support this sort of subinterface naming. But I wonder if there's a way to create pseudo interfaces to pull something similar off, however wonder what's the point. cheers, m _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
