you can put a lot of network config (at least what i use) in rc.conf.
Yes, but not if you have more than two addresses on an interface. I added code to 3.1's rc.d/network to handle ifalias_xxN_1, ifalias_xxN_2, etc; if anyone wants it I'll be happy to share, but the comment
You can specify multiple aliases on the same ifaliase_<if>, var:
ifconfig_fxp0=192.168.3.2
ifaliases_fxp0="192.168.3.11 - 192.168.3.12 - 192.168.3.13 -"
defaultroute=192.168.3.1
That would have worked in 3.x, and I believe in 2.x also...
