Multiple interfaces

[Phil Dibowitz]

I'm brining this back on-list, because I think that the reasoning is important
to my question... hope you don't mind.

See. But we have lik 8 interfaces that are all reachable from any one place,
but depending on where you are on the network one is closer to you --
different subnets. And hosta - hostg is kind of annoying. Especially because
someones we'll name one interface seperately so we get:

almaakA
almaakB
almaakC
almaakD
almaakE
almaak-qfe0A
almaak-qfe0B
almaak-eri0A
almaak-eri0B

And that's kinda hard to manage --- have to have service entires for all of
the, etc., etc...
