I am trying to set up multiple IP aliases for my ethernet card (ne0).  I am
using the following command on BSDI 2.0.1...

ifconfig ne0 inet x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

This does not allow the specified IP address to pass through the NIC.  I
have set multiple IP's before but apparantly have forgotten how. :-(   Any
help would be appreciated.  TIA.
