I read the original message too quickly...

All of this depends on how 'ifconfig' and the kernel cooperate in interpreting address/mask pairs.

Normally, I would expect that you do the following when adding 'aliases':
if the alias IP address is on the same subnet as an
existing address for this interface, use the
netmask 255.255.255.255; in your case, 10.10.10.1
exists, and you are adding .2 and .3

10.10.10.1 is the router; .2 is the original address and .3 is the alias.

Sigh.

Justin
