Ike,

What does your /etc/vip-up.sh script actually look like?  Does it have the 
requisite ifconfig ... alias command to actually assign the virtual IP to 
the interface in question?

As an aside I've found renaming interfaces akin to:

ifconfig_fxp0_name="wan0"
ifconfig_vge0_name="lan0"
ifconfig_vr0_name="sync0"

in /etc/rc.conf extremely useful.  This way all scripts, ifconfig commands 
and pf rules can reference the descriptive name rather than the driver name 
of the interface.
