Having some difficulty configuring virtual hosts to work properly using
BSD/OS 2.1.

This is what I have done:

	Added the ifconfig lo0 alias `ipaddress`

	(Additionally all the DNS configuration has been done, but
	 doesn't have anything to do with the problem I'm having.)

This is what happens:

	Ping to virtual ip works from anywhere in local domain.
	Ping to virtual ip doesn't work from anywhere out of local.
	Ping to hosts within local domain works.
	(all pings are being done with IP addresses)

Everything seems to be configured the way it is supposed to be, but
I just can't seem to figure out why packets aren't being accepted for 
the virtual address from outside the domain.

Any suggestions appreciated.

TIA
Stan
