First, My eth0 is setup by DHCP. There is no route declared in my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. In recent versions of Redhat I was able to ifconfig eth0 down then back up and the route would be restored. Second, since neat restores the route, what is neat doing or what scripts are being parsed that ifconfig is unable to do? Thanks again.
