That may suggest even moving it away from numbers, so you could rack
up
ifconfig_em0_alias_annoyingcustomer="1.2.3.4/32"
and the like instead. Would even open up future possibilities through
rc for running a single one of the aliases, which would be handy as a
double-check when you add a new one to a running system.
