Dear Alexey,

What do you mean by "properly configured"? You mean the out-of-the-box configuration still does not allow this?

A Cisco router would not allow the same L2 network on two different L3 interfaces IMHO, even if one of the prefixes is more specific. If it would, how should it know whether the destination is behind a gateway or can be reached by ARP/NDP?
