Yes, just one routing table

I am not sure how, but it happens on this machine within seconds of 
all its applications starting up.  I am speculating it has to do with 
the fact the machine has multiple public interfaces as well as IPs 
aliased to lo0 so that packets will come in em1 destined for em1 and 
lo0, but will always go out em0 ? The same for the kernel from HEAD 
shows the same behaviour.

The problem started with the tcp offload code
