FYI the correct FreeBSD rc.conf setting would be:
(assuming your interface is em0)
ifconfig_em0="inet 209.160.65.133 netmask 0xfffff800"
ifconfig_em0_alias0="inet 209.160.68.112 netmask 0xffffffff"
And to fix by hand:
(assuming your interface is em0)
# ifconfig em0 inet 209.160.68.112 netmask 0xffffffff
