Routing 169.254 Networks

Sorry for bumping up the old post.
After upgrading to 2.4.5, I cannot reach the printer anymore.

It seems that I can ping it on the pfsense box, but not on the NAT IP on LAN.

When pinging 192.168.200.1 (Printer is at 169.254.169.100, VIP of my box is 169.254.100.100/16) from 192.168.1.4:

It seems that there is no response:

I have confirmed that no_apipa_block is set to true, and

pfctl -sr

shows no blockage for packets in 169.254.0.0/16

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks

@hopkins Got similar issue for users upgraded to 2.4.5, not sure if it helps to diagnostic the issue:

To talk to something on another vlan that is using apipa, that device would have to have a gateway.. Or you would have to nat to it, etc.
