Persist ifconfig aliases after disconnect

Hi all, on my FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE server I have a few jails running.
To assign them IP addresses, I set aliases on the interface:
ifconfig_re0_alias0="inet 192.168.1.200 netmask 0xffffffff"
This works great until the connection drops and comes back up again,
the alias goes away.
If I run ifconfig in the jail, there's no inet line and I can not
access the web server.
However if I run the following and restart the jail, it works again:
ifconfig re0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.255 alias
Obviously this is not ideal because there would be a lot of downtime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
