Make sure that you replaced rl0 with the name of your interface, which can 
be found with a simple ifconfig -a.

write a simple shell script to do it or do it manually with the following:
ifconfig <interface> inet <ip> netmask <subnet mask> alias

However, using your rc.conf should bind them when you boot up. I have heard 
that sometimes you have to statically add routes to your kernel routing 
table for aliases to work, however I don't know if there is any truth to 
that. You can try adding them with the following command:
route add -host <ip> 127.0.0.1 0
