Thank you. That worked. I read all the documentation I could find, which 
was very little. Basic networking requirements like this should be in 
the FreeBSD Manual. rc.conf man pages gave no examples, and differed 
from one version to another quite a bit.

In the future, I'll grep the defaults first.
