Could we check the simultaneous existence of both hostname.if and
hostname.lladdr corresponding to one interface and print error message
if so?
I'm also interesting how the following case will be handled. We have
/etc/hostname.vlan0 and /etc/hostname.08002233ccbb, network devices
configured as:
vlan0: flags=8002<BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 08:00:23:33:cc:bb
index 5 priority 0 llprio 3
encap: vnetid 1 parent em0 txprio packet rxprio outer
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 08:00:23:33:cc:bb
and we do /etc/netstart?
