The first domain I add works fine, the second gives me an ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists. Here is the exact output: ifconfig de0 inet 199.xxx.xxx.73 alias route add -host 199.xxx.xxx..73 127.0.0.1 ifconfig de0 inet 199.xxx.xxx.74 alias ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCAIFADDR): File exists ifconfig de0 inet 199.xxx.xxx.74 alias route add -host 199.xxx.xxx.74 127.0.0.1 Each interface after the second must be ifconfiged twice to get it to work. Any ideas? Thanks, Craig =================================================================== Orbit Systems Phone: 508-753-8776 400 Grove St. Email: craigs@os.com Worcester, MA 01605 http://www.os.com/
