It is obsd that must accommodate itself to the existing LAN. In other words, if I set the LAN to a different subnetwork, egress goes to the right interface but I fucked up a whole company. On the other side of the wire, the ISP has a fixed IP I cannot change. So, obsd's automatic assignment of egress fails hard. As it turns out, it fails hard because in the PCI bus ix0 (LAN) sits before em0 (gateway), so obsd attaches egress to ix0, and it does so despite explicit group assignment and change of priority in hostname.if. To solve obsd's royal fuckup, I have to use ix0 as egress and ix1 as ingress, and disable emN.
