on 1.2g i386 /etc/netstart there a section to config ipalias:

# Check if each configured interface xxN has an $ifaliases_xxN variable
# associated, then configure additional IP addresses for that interface.
# The variable contains a list of "address netmask" pairs, with "netmask"
# set to "-" if the interface default netmask is to be used.
#
if [ -n "$configured_interfaces" ]; then
        echo 'adding interface aliases:';
[...]
then follows a section on "ifalias" for the file /etc/ifalias

Just curious.. isn't this redundant or am I missing something?
