Having just implemented IP aliasing on a NIC in our FreeBSD 4.5 server and
goten it to work, my first thought is that the netmask for the alias should
be 255.255.255.255 if, as in this case, both IPs should sit on the same
subnet.
Don't ask me why, but it does work. I believe I read it in the handbook or
the man pages somewhere.
Good luck.

Subject: Ifconfig - no aliases?
Hey All,
Can some bright spark spot a mistake in this?
For some reason I cannot get my NIC aliases to come up. Everything looks
fine but no go.
Here are the entries in rc.conf for the card (the first two digits are
xx'd
for this email):
hostname=not-sharing-that-rightnow
defaultrouter xx.100.110.1
ifconfig_rl0=inet xx.100.110.160 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
xx.100.110.255
# virtual IP ports
ifconfig_rl0_alias0=inet xx.100.110.161 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
xx.100 .110.255
snipmore entries/
And here is the ifconfig output - everything is happy on the main IP -
just
no one else wants come and play
ns1# ifconfig
rl0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500
