I've been fighting with fbsd to get the box to respond to multiple ip 
addresses.  I've tried using the alias option on ifconfig to set ed0
to multiple addresses, but this only works with two.  All the examples
I've seen only set up two ip addresses.  I've tried multiple aliases,
multiple commands, but the bottom line is I can only have two.

I've got the problem hacked by setting up multiple fake slip ports, but
this seems so damn clumsy.

Is there a better way?
