Why do non-internetwork routers respond to REQUEST packets? Also, I am seeing a problem a route to a network will get into the table as a gateway even though there is an interface to the local route. To better explain this, here is an example netstat -r. (This is from machine "192.15.1.95") Destination Gateway Flags Reference Use Interface Count default 192.15.1.25 UG 0 0 il0 192.15.1.0 192.15.1.25 UG 0 0 il0 loopback-net localhost U 0 1231 lo0 192.15.1.0 192.15.1.95 U 1 3954 il0 Note that there are two routes to 192.15.1, one is a gateway, 192.15.1.25, and the other is an interface, 192.15.1.95. How can this happen? Has anyone seen this happen? How can I prevent it from happening? Please respond via mail. If there is enough interest, I will summarize to the net.
