Please test with these four cases: ``` 10.0.2.1 gateway.lan son.lan 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan ``` ``` 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan 10.0.2.1 gateway.lan son.lan ``` ``` 10.0.2.1 son.lan gateway.lan 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan ``` ``` 10.0.2.2 gateway.lan 10.0.2.1 son.lan gateway.lan ``` And get karma bonus points for reporting back.
