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
