Two things of note: 1] Have you actually configured rl1? 2] If so, what IP addr configurations is supposed to have? The reasoning behind my questions is the fact that you mentioned that *both* rl0 & rl1 are connected to "the same hub". Hubs are devices that provide for sharing collision domains on a subnet - hosts / nodes that on the same subnet all see the same traffic. FreeBSD (under normal circumstances) would not allow you to have multiple nics configured with IP addrs within the same subnet. E.G: rl0 = 10.0.0.1 rl1 = 10.0.0.2 FreeBSD wouldn't normally allow you to do this. Do you have rl1 defined in /etc/rc.conf? Post that for us, please.
