Yeah that's for sure. The gateway IP is not within the subnet (given only one IP is) so it is definitely unreachable by normal IPv4 routing rules. If it was a PtP link, then perhaps it would be a different story, but it probably isn't. Certainly for any normal functional network, those settings would not work. If they do work, the network is doing things outside normal IPv4 routing rules. -- Len Sorensen

It is the /32 that makes it odd. Regards Geert Stappers Would like to see this bugreport to be closed. -- Silence is hard to parse
