Thank you very much for the answer. Unfortunately I didn't want to mess remotely with this kind of configuration, so I
waited until I could get my hands physically on the machine today.
As I was explaining the matter to my customer, she happened to notice that the alias IP is no longer needed (was some
kind of subscription); just wish she had told me *before* :)

Alas, the machines fares good now with only xxx.xxx.xxx.1 and I don't like to experiment with a production machine,
if it works.

Still I don't know if the problem was FreeBSD or lied elsewhere, but I can't think of anything else, so it could be a
good candidate for investigations, if I (or anyone else) ever happen to have a similar configuration to play freely
with.


Thanks a lot really.
