Yes, that's a good point. My DSL connection is thru a DHCP negotiated ADSL line over which I tunnel to my real ISP who allocates my CIDR block of ip addresses. Since the DHCP is resolving, I still do not think that route should appear. It should only show up if the DHCP negotiation failed. Or am I confused here. By the time /etc/rc.d/rc.local runs and deletes the route, the DHCP negotiation is history. Harry Hoffman writes: > Hmm, > Do you have DHCP turned on somewhere?
