Am I correct in inferring ( not assuming no! ) that once a

created we can not add aliases to them?

#ifconfig carp1 alias 123.32.217.21 netmask

255.255.255.0

ifconfig: SIOCAIFADDR: Can't assign requested address

Wouldn't the netmask have to be a full 255.255.255.255?

To directly answer the question asked ...
Yes that would be more correct, though it does not alleviate this symptom.
