Here's a possible solution to your problem.  I noticed your ifconfig:
> vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
>         inet 207.148.xxx.50 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 207.148.xxx.55
>         inet 207.148.xxx.51 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 207.148.xxx.55
>         inet 207.148.xxx.52 netmask 0xfffffff8 broadcast 207.148.xxx.55
>         inet 192.168.0.4 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
>         ether 00:80:c8:e1:47:b2
>         media: 100baseTX <half-duplex>
>         supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
> <half-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 10baseT/UTP
> <half-duplex>

Your netmask for the aliases should be 255.255.255.255 (or 0xffffffff)
here's an example ifconfig from one of my machines (note the .16 addr
which is the alias):
de0: flags=8a43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,ALLMULTI,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 192.168.34.4 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 192.168.34.127
	inet 192.168.34.16 netmask 0xffffffff broadcast 192.168.34.16
	ether 00:00:f8:01:80:c6 
	media: 100baseTX status: active
	supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP
