Watcha, When an aliased interface is brought up, no route is added for it. This means that packets from an aliased IP address on one interface do not reach other IP addresses on that interface. Adding a 'route add <aliasedIPaddress> 127.0.0.1' in the startup scripts would fix it. Is there any place that this route command should go in the current startup scripts which I'm ignorant of? :-) Danke! gjvc -- [gjvc] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
