Your guess is right! Thanks for that hint. Do you have any idea, how to
restore the old behavior? 

I have to, because the ISP cannot assign a different local address
and have problems with the new behavior, because that IP adress is an MX entry
and the VPN gateway address for several third party vendor tunnels. 
So changing that is quite an effort.

Many thanks for your quick answer.

Best regards
