Yet this message is flooding my logs. I think this message means is that according to the netmask set on your interfaces the machine doesn't fall into the local network addresses for any interface. If you are seeing the address alot that probably means that your machine is trying to route traffic through this machine (maybe because of routing updates?). You could use netstat -nr and ifconfig -a to investigate fruther. David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
