I noticed that the FAQ and man pages say you can use the alias
command to add more than one IP address to your network interface.
I noticed that as you add them, they seem to shuffle.
If you add A then B, A will show up under ifconfig. If you add
C, B will show up.
Is this holding all my addresses or only 2? How can I see all the
addresses at once, as netstat -i doesn't show them ( I think ).
