Hi there,

I use a 3c509 under 2.1.0R and found that I needed to manually add
routes to the aliases as ifconfig would not always add the correct
routing table entries.

Its not pleasant, but:
route add <alias ip> 127.0.0.1

foreach <alias ip> will fix things.  Sounds like a bug somewhere if it
worked fine for you under 2.1.0R but not for me, and now flakes in a
similar way for you in 2.1.5R as for me in 2.1.0R.  I wasn't sure if
this was a bug.
