I am running an ISP host on FreeBSD and was running 2.1.6.1 with 12 virtual hosts aliased to ep0 through the standard ifconfig command in rc.local. I upgraded to 2-2gamma last saturday because of the serious security bug found in the previous releases. All went fine except that on boot, routed started acting funny, giving errors concerning the aliases to my ethernet interface. I was literally dead in the water for 4 hours with only my main network services up and no client sites available (I also provide the ftp and dns for the 12 virtual hosts). It took 4 hours to figure out that under the new version, I could not run routed (which used to work perfectly well with the same configs under 2.1.6) Anyone have a similar experience ?
