Close the PR since this is a configuration error:

>From ifconfig(8):

     alias   Establish an additional network address for this interface.  This
             is sometimes useful when changing network numbers, and one wishes
             to accept packets addressed to the old interface.  If the address
             is on the same subnet as the first network address for this
             interface, a non-conflicting netmask must be given.  Usually
             0xffffffff is most appropriate.

In short, change netmask 255.255.255.0 to netmask 255.255.255.255.  It
is better to use the freebsd-questions mailing list for these kind of
configuration problems.
