Since the past couple of years on every new FreeBSD I put this in motd for my
linux colleagues and coworkers:

	Network:
	        To apply changes you have made to the network:
	        # /etc/rc.d/netif restart && /etc/rc.d/routing restart

Perhaps we could introduce a wrapper to be used with:
	# service network restart

	oliver_at_local ~ % cat /etc/rc.d/network
	#!/bin/sh

	# PROVIDE: network
	# REQUIRE: netif routing
	# KEYWORD: nojailvnet

	. /etc/rc.subr
	. /etc/network.subr

	name="network"
	start_cmd="network_start"
	stop_cmd="network_stop"

	network_start()
	{
	    /etc/rc.d/netif start
	    /etc/rc.d/routing start
	}

	network_stop()
	{
	    /etc/rc.d/netif stop
	    /etc/rc.d/routing stop
	}

	load_rc_config $name
	run_rc_command $*
