Description

This issue is similar to this redmine: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7547

In order to test:

1. Create an Alias
2. Assign the Alias as the Destination Network for a Static Route.
3. Verify the Alias entries are in the routing table.
4. Edit the Alias without modifying the Static Route
5. Any added or removed entries will not be present and the old alias data is used for the routing table

This appears to be a regression at some point. Tested on 25.07.1.

Is a reboot necessary to get the routing table updated with the new alias definition? Or is simply editing the alias (making no changes) and re-saving sufficient?

Answering my own question: editing the alias and re-saving both the alias and the static route does NOT fix the routing table. It appears that a full reboot is still necessary (tested on 25.11.r.20251118.1708 RC)
