--- Comment #1 from Pouria Mousavizadeh Tehrani <pouria@freebsd.org> ---
Hi Willian,

Thank you for your report.
IMHO, this is expected behaviour.
You upstream router (172.24.17.1) is not aware that you're using a separate
FIB.
As defined in RFC792:
The gateway sends a redirect message to a host ... the host identified by the
internet source address of the datagram are on the same network, a redirect
message is sent to the host.

Therefore, your host receives an ICMP redirect message indicating that your
host is on the same link as the router. FreeBSD will create a dynamic route
with an expiration time in its routing table (FIB 1 in your case) and directly
forward traffic as expected.

As you have already found out, you can avoid this scenario by setting
icmp_drop_redirect="YES".

Please reopen this issue if that is not the case.
