[I think.] I saw the note about the incorrect mask on the second 10. address; and agree that it needs fixing, but I don't think that was the source of the log messages. I ran into the same thing when I had different NICS on different IP subnets on the same physical network some time ago - that's how I remembered the setting. That's why there's a sysctl for it - depending on your configuration, it isn't actually an error. Let's see what the OP discovers.
