Sub interfaces are Linux's way of dealing with what's called IP aliasing, which means assigning multiple IP addresses to the same interface. In BSD's, you don't create sub interfaces, you just assign aliases. This, among other things, is discussed in a new HOWTO on the darwin HOWTO page (<shamelessplug> http://publicsource.apple.com/projects/documentation/howto/html/network_conf.... html</shamelessplug>) Check that out; it should answer your questions. If it doesn't, let me know, and I'll update it (and, one hopes, answer your question as well). Regards, Justin -- Justin C.
