Dear everyone,

I'm working with an interesting little pilot that involves running an
OpenBSD virtual host in KVM environment. The VPS provider in question
has no (serious) prior experience with OpenBSD and so there are some
rather basic level issues that need solving.

I've been able to work out most of the mysteries, but there's one
routing related issue I haven't been able to figure out myself.

Basically, the problem is that the default gateway (5.166.16.254) is in
a different subnet than the host IP address (193.34.119.15), making it
unreachable.

Here's the routing table as it exists after reboot. The address comes
from DHCP server, and as you can see, there's an entry that should make
the default gateway reachable (but it's not):

Destination      Gateway           Flags   Prio ... Iface
224/4            127.0.0.1         URS     8        lo0
5.166.16.254/32  193.34.119.15     UCS     8        em0
127/8            128.0.0.1         UGRS    8        lo0
127.0.0.1        127.0.0.1         UHhl    1        lo0
193.34.119.15    02:00:00:2c:80:a9 UHLl    1        em0
193.34.119.15/32 193.34.119.15     UCn     4        em0

When I try to ping the gateway:

ping: sendmsg: Invalid argument

I'm rather sure this is basic stuff that I should actually already
know, but I humbly admit I'm at loss here. Been doing extensive
googling and still haven't been able to figure this one out.

All assistance is much appreciated!

Yours,

Jyri
