To add another IP address, do the following : ifconfig "network_interface" inet a.b.c.d netmask 255.255.255.255 alias route add route add a.b.c.d localhost where network interface is ed0, ep0 etc. The 255.255.255.255 is required if you wish to talk to yourself using that IP address (e.g. web serving multiple virtual domains) Most previous answers have omitted the netmask.
