That's all. Thanks Eugene. I am reluctant to add firewall rules because the second interface is configured as being in fib 1. This is so that jails, which are also started with fib 1, can use the proper routing table. I don't want to add complexity where it isn't necessary, unless there is no other option. Is it possible to somehow configure sshd to use the proper routing table?
