Hi,

I am running FreeBSD 2.0 with a NE2000 compatible NIC (ed1) and I am 
trying to add multiple IPs in order to run multple web servers with 
multiple domains, but it doesn't seem to work. The command I have tried 
is of the form "ifconfig ed1 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx alias". It doesn't 
complain when I enter the command but I get no response when trying to 
ping the alias address.

Anybody got any clues.

Thanks in advance
