interface alias at start-up

[John Barbieri]

ifconfig_xl0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  netmask 255.255.255.128"
ifconfig_xl0_alias="inet 172.16.2.138 netmask 255.255.255.0"



yea they are in different networks. i will try the 255.255.255.255 thing
when i get back to work. that seems odd that you have to put a host
netmask on there :/
