if your first IPs are say 192.168.1.1-2/32 and 2001:550:2:8::1e-f

Try without an alias0 for the first set of IPs

ifconfig_lo1="inet 192.168.1.1/32"
ifconfig_lo1_ipv6="inet6 2001:550:2:8::1e prefixlen 126"
ifconfig_lo1_alias0="inet 192.168.1.2/32"
ifconfig_lo1_ipv6_alias0="inet6 2001:550:2:8::1f prefixlen 126"
