I checked this and found that the ae0 interface does have a IP address. Is this a mistake? I have a
sn0 address which is the gateway and a dynamic IP address on ppp0. Should I have deleted the
ifconfig.ae0 file?

There is no problem here. I had apache running on the router before and it worked fine but now I
need to use another machine as a web server.
