 Well,
 
 in "production" setup I'm using the 1st alias for a jail with my mailsserver. And every time I lost this alias, I can't connect to/from my mailserver :-/
 
 If anyone else has this problem too... As a workaround I'm defining my aliases like:
 | ifconfig_wlan0_alias0="inet 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 | ifconfig_wlan0_alias1="inet 192.168.0.201 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 | ifconfig_wlan0_alias2="inet 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.255"
 
 And I don't use "192.168.0.200" anywhere. Thus it doesn't matter if I lost this alias.
