Good point, I did switch to new config, let me find a box I can take down
and I'll report back. I assume you'd be right considering how shell
scripting works, that would not make much sense...

I notice we have changed way IPV6 is done in rc.conf now.
I assume someone will update:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-ipv6.html
My question now concerns aliases, and what the norm will end up being.
Here is example below:
Here we have the new layout with IPV6, the below works fine, however
since
the ifconfig lines for IPV4 and IPV6 are essentially the same other
than the actual "inet" and "inet6", will it be ok to start with
alias0 for both IPV4 and IPV6, or should I in this example be
starting at alias4 for IPV6?
I would like idea to keep it way it is each protocal starting at alias0.
#GATEWAY
defaultrouter="67.159.46.233"
hostname="sunsaturn.com"
#IPV4
ifconfig_em1="inet 67.159.46.238 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet 67.159.46.234 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet 67.159.46.235 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias2="inet 67.159.46.236 netmask 255.255.255.248"
ifconfig_em1_alias3="inet 67.159.46.237 netmask 255.255.255.248"
#IPV6
ipv6_activate_all_interfaces="YES"
ipv6_network_interfaces="em1"
ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0001"
ifconfig_em1_ipv6="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0002
prefixlen 48"
ifconfig_em1_alias0="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0003
prefixlen 48"
ifconfig_em1_alias1="inet6 2001:49f0:4004:0000:0000:0000:0000:0004
prefixlen 48"
Remember that rc.conf follows shell syntax and sematics, so the second
_alias0 and _alias1 will overwrite the previous ones.
In 9.0 you can use the ipv4_addrs_<ifname> variable to set both the
IPv4 "main" address as well as "alias" addresses, see rc.conf(5).
There doesn't seem to be an equivalent IPv6 option, as best as I can
tell.
You would assume so Stefan, that the duplicate alias0 would overwrite,
but it seems since ifconfig separates the namespace for IPV4/IPV6 it
actually works.
I don't see how that could possibly be true, how have you tested it?
