That does it!!! Told you I was good for a stupid mistake or two. Haven't tested it because I can't reboot the box, but I'd assume that's why the rc.conf statements didn't work as well (the netmask). I don't think the position of alias had anything to do with it, but just the netmask.
Thanks Giorgos.
