I could, but should I? That is, why don't the alias commands in my 
/etc/ifconfig.fxp0 file do this correctly?

On a related note, I got an off-list suggestion to instead use the 
/etc/ifaliases file, and this will work correctly (where aliases in 
/etc/ifconfig.fxp0 do not). Is that the recommended way of doing 
multihomed aliases?
