You can't have 2 NIC's on the same subnet (you can't have 2 IPs on any NIC in 
the same subnet).

Why do you want to do this? If you want an alias you only need 1 NIC and you 
do..

ifconfig em0 inet 205.229.165.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
ifconfig em0 alias inet 205.229.165.8 netmask 255.255.255.255

What is the second NIC going to be used for?
