Hi,
I am having some problems with FreeBSD (2.1.5R) and virtual IPs.
I set a virtual IP interface like this:
ifconfig de0 194.64.170.15 alias netmask 0xffffffff

Problems: 
- I can't delete this interface. I studied the man pages for ifconfig,
  but everytime I try to delete the alias I delete the entiere interface,
  so I have to reconfigure at the computers terminal.
- I can't find any command which lists all the alias interfaces. 
  ifconfig -au doesn't show them
- web servers work fine on virtual IPs, but I can't get bind to work on
  a virtual IP. So I can ping the virtual interface, but a dns request
  times out.

Can someone here help me?

Regards, Ulf Schmidt
