Re: Mystery Routing Problem driving me MAD

Oh my GA-A-A-WD! You were right!

The netmask of an alias is supposed to default to that of its interface, but
it WASN'T. So specifying the netmask when I set up the alias fixed the
problem! I'm excited, as you can tell! (note lots of exclamation points)

I probably would have suffered over this for days, or weeks, before falling
on this. Thanks for the help.

I still don't know why only that one domain seemed unavailable. Everywhere
else was accessible. But HEY, whatever. It's fixed!

Thanks again.

Check your netmask on both interfaces.
