I would like to set up a FreeBSD 2.0.5 machine which will respond to
multiple IP addresses.  How would I do that?

For example, My machine currently has IP 194.9.40.1, but I would also
like to have it responds to 194.9.40.xxx. 

What is the maximum number of multiple IPs that can be set up on one
network interface?
