Description

I have a working 2 FW CARP setup with pfSense 2.2 and a /28 subnet of available ip addresses.

If I add one of my available IPs as as "IP Alias" and later decide I don't want to delete it an error occurs:

"This entry cannot be deleted because it is still referenced by at least one Gateway."

If I don't want the FW listening for a particular IP in my subnet I should be able to delete it.
I did find a previous bug report back in 2013 that seems to reference the same issue in an earlier version of pfSense that was fixed.

The work around is fairly simple. Change the it from an "IP Alias" to an "Other", save it, then delete it.
While the work around it fairly simple this is still a bug isn't it?
