Japp, You are probably right. But there is some kind of bug if an alias address is turned into
a main address if the main address is lost. You can see it as some kind of fallback but
it should return to alias if you get a new main address.

Is the reason I can´t use the dhclient.conf because m0n0wall recreates the config files, the so called "mono"?
