Anyone know the right way to do this? :)
yes, man ifocnfig says
ifconfig [-L] [-k] [-m] interface [create] [address_family] [address
[dest_address]] [parameters]
The following parameters may be set with ifconfig:
-alias Remove the network address specified. This would be used if you
...
Conclusion: -alias is a "parameter" and belongs to the end after
the address.
The it works for IPv4 is "pure luck".
