Poor situation with snmp support in FreeBSD

One thing that is not working as expected in bsnmpd (or maybe I'm not expecting the right thing) is replying to queries on multihomed hosts.

That is, if one machine has 2 network interfaces, one with IP address 192.168.1.1, mask 255.255.255.0 and another 10.10.10.10 (same mask), if a host on the 192.168 segment tries to query this host on its 10.10.10.10 IP address, it will receive a reply from 192.168.1.1 - which will be ignored, since it's not the host we tried to query.

Is this the normal behaviour?

Thank you
