This is expected.  Only one of those interfaces has a network route so it
will be used for all communications to that network.  I'm guessing your
route to 10.0/16 is via xl0 though I can't say for sure because you
haven't provided the contents of your routing table as previously
requested (use "netstat -f inet -rn").

If you want two interfaces to be on the same subnet and to provide the
broadcast medium for that subnet, you need to bridge them.  If you want
the ability to alternate between the two connections to the same host,
you may be able to use CARP or ng_one2many.
