The delete is only necessary if you are not adding the alias at bootup.

I have:
158.52.19.3      127.0.0.1          UGHS        1     5329      -  lo0
158.52.19.5      127.0.0.1          UGHS        1    31660      -  lo0
158.52.19.7      127.0.0.1          UGHS        0     1443      -  lo0

19.3 is in hostname.ep0, .5 and .7 are aliases add in /etc/netstart:
  ifconfig ep0 158.52.19.5 alias netmask 255.255.255.0
  route add 158.52.19.5 localhost

  ifconfig ep0 158.52.19.7 alias netmask 255.255.255.0
  route add 158.52.19.7 localhost

To me it looks like everything is working correctly.  I know that
doing something like:
# ifconfig ep0 IP1
# ping foo
# ifconfig ep0 IP2
# ping foo

Doesn't do exactly what you would expect either.  It seems that the
aliases need to be set in /etc/netstart to work 'correctly.'
