I think that's part of the generic 4.4BSD network code, so it might work with BSDI as well: ifconfig xx0 inet primary.address netmask whatever.applies ifconfig xx0 inet alias secondary.address netmask 0xffffffff The all-1 netmask is necessary when the secondary.address lies in the same subnet as the primary.address. In case you wish to have aliases responding to different networks, use the real netmasks, of course. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de [private: http://www.sax.de/~joerg/]
