From our /etc/netstart:
# Hardcoded interface configuration
echo -n "."
ifconfig we0 down
ifconfig we0 inet 198.133.164.1 link0
for i in $aliases ; do
echo -n "."
ifconfig we0 inet 198.133.164.$i alias 2>/dev/null
done
ifconfig we0 up
echo "."
# configure localhost (loopback) interface
ifconfig lo0 inet 127.1
# do not send packets to the "loopback" net off-machine
route add -net 127 127.1 -reject
if [ X$defroute != X ]; then
route add default $defroute
fi
# Add routes to aliases through the loopback address (why?)
for i in $aliases ; do
echo -n "."
route add 198.133.164.$i $loopback >/dev/null
done
echo "."
