I thought you may have misconfigured lo0 but it doesn't appear to be the case. That's an odd netmask for ed1. 255.255.252.0?

Well, screwed up netmasks will cause these sorts of problems, so double check your netmasks all the way around. > Odd how after I've ping'ed some of these IPs, I get the following > with netstat -nr > > Routing tables > > Internet: > Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire > default 15.75.136.169 UGSc 4 13 ed1 > 10/24 link#2 UC 0 0 ed2 > 10.0.0.1 0:80:c8:fd:88:d UHLW 0 28 lo0 This is downright wierd. Have you rebooted recently? This should not be attached to lo0.

No, this is *wrong*. No one behind the router should be responding to 15.* addressing. Turn off the multihosting on green and plug it into only one network. It may be gatewaying the network data around and causing the loop I'm seeing.
