If you want IP aliasing, then use the network interface with :1 added, (or :2, 
:3, etc)

To get the situation below, I did
ifconfig hme1:1 210.100.2.8 
ifconfig hme1:1 up

hme0: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 111.222.2.4 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 111.222.2.255
        ether 8:0:20:9b:8:1 
hme1: flags=863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 111.222.2.9 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 111.222.2.255
        ether 8:0:20:9b:8:1 
hme1:1: flags=843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 111.222.2.8 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 111.222.2.255
