Just to be clear, the interfaces are both of the form 152.3.172.*.

If for example they were reconfigured so that one was of the form 
152.3.171.* and the other was of the form 152.3.172.& (say) then would the 
problem just disappear?

Thanks.                                                          Faheem.
