As was mentioned earlier, adding "route add <virtual_ip> 127.0.0.1" to the /etc/rc.local (or /usr/local/etc/rc.d/rc.local) seems to work. > is it a bug in 3.3 perhaps that it doesn't happen automatically? It's a bug that has always existed in FreeBSD AFAIK. The recommended fix is to use a 255.255.255.255 netmask, however, this will break other things on the network.
