What I do is copy the rc.inet1 to a rc.inet3 and then update rc.M to
load rc.inet3=20

# Initialize the NET subsystem.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ]; then
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2
  . /etc/rc.d/rc.inet3



Like that.
That way it loads the correct setup for each...
or do it manually adding it to rc.local
