virtual host ip aliases

[mike at lanline.com]

yeah.  thanks guys.  i'm basically coming from a bsd/os background, so i
was hoping there was something equivalent to /etc/virtualip, but that
start_if.<dev> is close enough.  so i basically wrote some thing like that
and appended the output to that file, but i can actually have the script in
the file itself?  is that right?

thanks
