Can you show us the routing on the server please rather than the client
? What is the subnet mask of the alias 196.25.37.19 ? It should have a
subnet of 255.255.255.255 as it's on the same network as 196.25.37.18.

Your /etc/rc.conf file should look something like this:

ifconfig_rl0="inet 196.25.37.18 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_rl0_alias0="inet 196.25.37.19 netmask 255.255.255.255"

Your subnet in the above example may differ according to what block your
ISP has provided you.
