Well, according to the "Linux 2.4 Advanced Routing HOWTO" the default table (or 253) should be empty and the default route should be in 'main'. > Does this make sense?

I have the same here on a RedHat 7.1 system running kernel 2.4.5 with iproute2-ss000305. > I'm running iproute2-2.2.4-now-ss001007.tar.gz from > ftp://ftp.inr.ac.ru, with kernel 2.4.5. > > My userland utilities, like ifconfig, ifup, etc are from RH6.2ish. > Would they make a difference?
