Just use the command 'man ifconfig' and check out the section
on 'alias'. In general it is somethign like


	vi /etc/rc.conf

and near

	ifconfig_rl0="10.11.0.2/24"

add things like

	ifconfig_rl0_alias0="10.11.0.66/32"
	ifconfig_rl0_alias1="10.11.0.67/32"
	ifconfig_rl0_alias2="10.11.10.1/24"

The manual equivalent is:

	ifconfig fxp0 alias 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255

to add an extra IP to the intel fxp0 card with IP address 1.2.3.4 which
must be inside the currently assigned netmask for that interface or

	ifconfig fxp0 alias 1.2.5.4 netmask 255.255.255.0

to assign a second IP and submask.
