Yes, it works on both FreeBSD and BSD/OS (and probably NetBSD
too). Just use ifconfig's "alias" option to add as many IP's as you
need to your network interface. Under FreeBSD, you also need to add a
loopback route to each one ("route add <alias> localhost") so the
machine can talk to itself at one of the aliases. The Apache server's
VirtualHost directive works beautifully with this setup.
