Well, I solved the problem.  Here's what:
1) noticed messages on my xconsole about arp lookups failing:10.20.30.2
not on local network.  Oh really?
2) added network 10.20.30 to /etc/networks
2a) route add -net 10.20.3for vx0 instead of route add 10.20.30.2

I'm not really sure which of 2) or 2a) did it, but it works now.  Any
ideas which did it?
