ipfw rule for aliased ip virtual hosts

[Matthew McGehrin]

1.    How are you adding aliases? using /etc/rc.conf or direct?
Using rc.conf, the format is:
ifconfig_rl0_alias0="inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_rl0_alias1="inet 192.168.2.4 netmask 255.255.255.255"
ifconfig_rl0_alias2="inet 192.168.2.5 netmask 255.255.255.255"


Using rc.local the format is:
ifconfig rl0 192.168.2.3 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
ifconfig rl0 192.168.2.4 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias 
ifconfig rl0 192.168.2.5 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias

2.    Can you ping or access other services to your vhost ip? 
i.e.:    ping 192.168.2.3 or telnet 192.168.2.3 22

3.     Please post the output of 'ipfw list' if your still stuck.

Thanks
