You have severely misconfigured your system.  It is hard to imagine
what sane meaning it could possibly have to have two host addresses
on the same physical segment with different -- but overlapping --
netmasks.

If you got such an example from the FreeBSD handbook, it's quite simply
wrong.  You should tell the maintainers so they can fix it.

You can configure additional host addresses on lo0 with a /32 netmask
if you wish.
