I'll confirm the same behaviour. The only solution I have found was to
first:
route delete IP
route add IP localhost
The following from 'netstat -rn' after doing a delete/add for .200
198.183.2.200 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 2 lo0
198.183.2.201 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 3 ep0
198.183.2.202 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 ep0
Hmmm. Seems that perhaps changing the alias command to:
ifconfig lo0 inet alias 198.183.2.200
might do the trick? Maybe someone who knows this code my have
the answer?
