Hi -

This is a followup on a message sent by someone else earlier today.
We're having problems with out gateway - after setting up a kvm switch
to control multiple machines from one keyboard/monitor pair, the
Freebsd gateway no longer seems to like the internal network. The
problem seems really strange:

The first machine to contact the server can connect, see the
gateway, access any local services, telnet to machines anywhere
on the 'net, etc.

However, when another machine tries to access the gateway, in some
situations neither of them can see the gateway anymore. In other
situations, the original machine still has access. I cannot determine
what the decisive action is that bumps the first one.

I've checked to make sure all the workstations are properly
configured, etc. No configuration changes were make to the FreeBSD box
(running 2.1.7) during the move to the kvm switch. It has been running
fine as a gateway for about 6 or so months previously. I took it off
the kvm switch, and the problem persists, although, I have made a
number of changes to various things in the mean time.

Anyway. Appended are the output of relevent commands... The route get
material seemed interesting to me. "Enterprise" was the first to
contact the server this reboot. "Vegas" is just another workstation.

Any suggestions would be wildly appreciated. Free brownies for
whomever solves the problem (via snailmail, if nessessary).

Thanks much.
