Thanks,
I do not know what the 'web1.a.net.' is about, more specifically he .net"." (dot on the end). i took this for the initial setup that was done on the box' initial entry in the /etc/hosts.
ok what am i doing...
I have apache running on the box and would like to use 3 diffferent IP's to try and keep (somewhat separate) the traffic, logging, etc. for the Virtual Hosts that are running there.
ultimately I will have;
<ip address 1> resolve to -> website 1 <ip address 2> resolve to -> website 2 <ip address 3> resolve to -> website 3
obviously they will bind to the same box but i would like to have them to separate ip's to ease some maintenance on the box, redirect traffic when needed, blah, blah.
I know that I can Name more than one VirtualHost ie; NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.151:80 NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.152:80 NameVirtualHost ???.???.???.153:80
and then the normal VirtualHost directive via IP's but I want to make sure that the box will answer to those ip's when we flip the DNS switch.
am i making sense? did i leave anything beyond the bind directive's out?

running FreeBSD on a box with an ethernet;

the <???> are just our ips. you will notice that .152 and .153 are aliases and are mapped to external ips via a switch. my question is how can I resolve names to the ip aliases on the box? ie
???.???.???.152 -> a.net
and
???.???.???.153 -> b.net
is this a /etc/hosts kind of entry?
???.???.???.152 web1.a.net web1 ???.???.???.152 web1.a.net. ???.???.???.153 web1.b.net web1 ???.???.???.153 web1.b.net.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
Yes, /etc/hosts will be the place to put those translations (for the
full hostnames -- you don't want the "web1.a.net." entries) if you
want that machine to know about them. If you explained the desired end
result, we might be able to give you more help.
