Also possible is using Sun-style IP aliasing:

  ifconfig tu0 inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00
  ifconfig tu0:1 inet 10.0.0.3 netmask 0xffffff00
  ifconfig tu0:2 inet 10.0.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00
  
This style of IP aliasing works well with the stock /usr/sbin/rcinet, which
gets its configuration information from /etc/rc.config (in turn set by the
stock /usr/sbin/setup). Just edit /etc/rc.config to read;

  NUM_NETCONFIG="3"
  NETDEV_0="tu0"
  NETDEV_1="tu0:1"
  NETDEV_2="tu0:2"
  IFCONFIG_0="10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0"
  IFCONFIG_1="10.0.0.3 netmask 255.255.255.0"
  IFCONFIG_2="10.0.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"

... or use setup to manually configure tu0, tu0:1 and tu0:2 seperately.

If anyone knows of a problem with this style of configuration, please let
me know.
