+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ifaliases
+.Nd interface aliases file
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+file specifies the additional addresses (aliases) that each interface
+has.
+.Nm
+is processed by
+.Pa /etc/rc.d/network
+at system boot time.
+.Pp
+Each line of the file is of the form:
+.D1 address interface [netmask]
+.Pp
+The
+.Em address
+is a network address of the alias.
+This must be a number, or must be in
+.Pa /etc/hosts ,
+since the nameserver is not running at this point.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em interface
+is the network interface the alias will be configured on.
+.Pp
+The
+.Em netmask
+is the netmask of the alias' network address.
+Although this is optional, omitting the netmask is discouraged.
+Omission results in the use of the classful netmask associated with
+.Em address .
+.Sh FILES
+.Pa /etc/ifaliases ,
+.Pa /etc/rc.d/network
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+file appeared in
+.Nx 1.2 .
+.Sh BUGS

+for alternatives like
