: It can be done the same way on FreeBSD as on BSD/OS. In my case,
: my Web server is in a C-class domain, and I want to assign multiple
: IP's to a single network interface (an NE2000 card, device ed1):
: ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.248 netmask 0xffffff00
: ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.249 netmask 0xffffffff alias
: ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.250 netmask 0xffffffff alias
: ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.251 netmask 0xffffffff alias
: ifconfig ed1 inet 140.109.40.252 netmask 0xffffffff alias
: [etc..] note ---^^
: That's it. The machine will now answer to 5 IP addresses. Now
: you need an HTTP server that can bind to a port at an individual
: address. The Apache server will do this, and works quite nicely with
: FreeBSD. See http://www.apache.org/ .
