Documentation Error?

[Jason D. Montgomery]

Cool, I thought I had tried that as well without success, but I'll take
your word and experience over mine any day. :)

Thanks for the clarification and actually responding to a random email.

later,

It shouldn't be either.   It should be:

  ifconfig_fxp0_alias0="10.1.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.255"

With neither 'inet' or 'alias' within the quotes for the alias
definition.
At least that is the way it works for us on about 75 servers.
