virtual host ip aliases

[Jeff at NorrisTechs]

Mike.

If you wanted to do it in bash, here's a script you can call using 
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/999myalias.sh

#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# save to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/999myalias.sh
# chmod 755
# BLAH BLAH BLAH.... NO COMMENT
######################################
#
# change to interface name, e.g. fxp0, rl0, fxp1 , whatever
NetName="fxp0"
# How many aliases will we create
Total="254"
# change NUM=xx whre xx is the starting number
for (( NUM=1; NUM <= $Total; NUM++ ))
do
# if you want to see the looping number
# uncomment this the next line
#echo $NUM
# Change 192.168.1.XXX to match your network
# change netmask to match you network
ifconfig $NetName 192.168.1.$NUM netmask 255.255.255.0 alias
done
# if you dont want to see 254 IP addresses, just comment out the next line
ifconfig | more
#end

Cheers.
