Two days ago I added an address from our second class C to a FreeBSD box
with `ifconfig ed0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx alias' and everything is fine.
The same command on three different BSDi boxes (with the appropriate
interface designation :)) results in them losing the MAC address of the
router after about 5 to 20 minutes.  Netstat -ran shows the Gateway to the
router IP as the correct MAC address at first then changes to link#1.

Any suggestions on how to keep the BSDi boxes in contact with the outside
world?
