Well, it seems pretty calm, and hasn't tried to cut itself yet... But
I think I can adapt.

Could I mimic this in RC.conf? Or is this saved between restarts?


Also, for the bridge, could I do this, correct?

#existing rc.conf
hostname="elrond.var-dev.net"
ifconfig_re0="inet 192.168.1.84 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_re0_alias0="192.168.1.85 netmask 255.255.255.255"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
#adding... Should I use an IP not aliased by re0?
ifconfig_bridge0="inet 192.168.1.85 netmask 255.255.255.0"
