It is a multihomed machine behind two DSL routers. All packets leave the 
interface with the default route unless I use IPFW with fwd.
Is there another way to force packets to leave the correct interface?

The problem does also appear if I shutdown the second WAN interface.
This is the way the traffic goes:

re0 (internal network) -> fwd to gre1 -> fwd to gateway of re1 -> re1

If the traffic source is the machine an not the internal network it 
seems to cause no problems. I guess the problem is to use fwd twice.
I will do additional tests and I will try to debug this using a serial 
connection next week.

kind regards,
Julian
