Well, then maybe I should point out that the two IP addresses are indeed different, in the third octet: 192.168.140.60 HIPERLF0 192.168.141.60 HIPERLF1
If the intent was to actually assign the same IP to both interfaces, then they either typoed it, or typoed it in sending it to the mailing list.

Unfortunately the archive renders the original post unreadable, but as I can piece together, the given configuration was: HOME 10.140.1.22 ETH0 10.140.1.24 ETH2 192.168.140.60 HIPERLF0 192.168.141.60 HIPERLF1 ; Network First Hop Interface MTU Mask Subnet 192.168.140 = HIPERLF0 8192 0 192.168.141.60 = HIPERLF1 8192 HOST 10.140.1.24 = ETH2 1500 HOST 10 = ETH0 1500 0.255.255.0 0.140.1.0 ; Default for everything else DEFAULTNET 10.140.1.254 ETH0 1500 0 Assigning the same IP address on different interfaces is a Really Bad Idea. If dynamic routing is introduced, it will not produce the desired results. As given, this configuration will send requests for .63 through HIPERLF0, not LF1. If LF1 is the desired interface, then the 192.168.141.60 value in the second entry must change to 192.168.141.63. The .63 host must have a default In general, I'm not happy with the two HOST entries. It is a nefarious attempt to split the respective subnets into two LAN segments. That is a recipe for failure. In fact, note the subnet mask on the Linux guest: 255.255.255.0. Linux will assume that all 192.168.141 hosts are local on the hsi1 interface, a valid assumption, but not true based on the VM configuration.
