Hello All,

There is a strange issue when using aliases on a network interface
and the client is using the alias address as default gateway.

For example i
have : 
trunk0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
        lladdr 00:18:fe:2e:e4:81
        priority: 0
        trunk:
trunkproto failover
                trunkport em1 
                trunkport
em0 master,active
        groups: trunk
        media: Ethernet autoselect
status: active
        inet 10.135.166.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast
10.135.166.255
        inet6 fe80::218:feff:fe2e:e481%trunk0 prefixlen 64
scopeid 0x9
        inet 10.135.166.3 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast
10.135.166.3
        inet 10.135.166.17 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast
10.135.166.17

Now when the client uses the address 10.135.166.3 as default
gateway and use some application that is running on a server behind the router
10.135.166.1 the application works slow or sometimes not even working.
When i
change the gateway to 10.135.166.7 it works perfectly . 

Can anyone tell me
what i am doing wrong ?

Thanks!

Peter
