What saved me when I went on the 'net, was the "alias"es for
the interfaces... makes multihomed hosts easy, and great for routers:

Anyone know how many aliases that can be used at once (for routing) ?

INN goes well, I will put a config.data file on
	ftp.wonderland.org:/networking/news/inn/config.netbsd
*soon*. I am about to eat dinner :-)

Also, an msync() needs adding in innd/icd.c:

	/*
	**  Write the active file out.
	*/
	void
	ICDwriteactive()
	{
	#if	defined(ACT_MMAP)
->	    if (msync(ICDactpointer, 0) == -1)
->		syslog(L_ERROR, "%s cant msync", LogName);
	#else

Otherwise its easy.
