I need to setup multiple IPs on the external interface as we have a 
Cisco PIX Firewall/VPN hardware box (something I had no control over) 
installed in our office.

Is it possible to shell into a m0n0wall install to edit the rc.conf ???

I know if I add the following line - ifconfig_lo0_alias0="inet 
127.0.0.254 netmask 0xffffffff"

I can create an IP Alias.

Any ideas ?
