Is it my english (it's bad, i know), is it such a newbie-question not worth answering it (but then it should be in the FAQ), or has really nobody here ever used static host routes? It would be great, if you could give me at least a comment, which other resources/mailing-lists I should use to get a solution.

(Blumfeld) - ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 5 Dec 1998 10:17:05 +0100 (MET) From: Sven Anderson To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Static host routes don't work? Hi, I'm running 2.2.8-RELEASE, and I noticed, that static host routes to directly connected hosts don't seem to work correctly. I have the following Problem: 192.168.25.0/24 ------ed1 |FreeBSD| de0-------- 172.27.0.0/16 | ---- Host 192.168.25.224 where the addresses of the interfaces of the BSD-Box are: ed1: 192.168.25.223 de0: 172.27.10.254 For the single host I need a hostroute to de0, and i thought, this line should do the job: # route add -host 192.168.25.224 -interface 172.27.10.254 After that the routingtable looks fine so far: 192.168.25.224 172.27.10.254 UHS 0 0 de0 but it doesn't work, no arp-requests for 192.168.25.224 on de0. Because i was not sure, if it is a netmask-problem, I tried the same with an address out of 172.27.0.0/16, for example 172.27.1.1, which was routed correctly before, and from this moment on the address was unreachable. It seems that static host routes don't route but block, and no arp-requests happen anymore for that address. Then i tried the -interface-option with the real device-name: # route add -host 192.168.25.224 -interface de0 and it created a permanent arp-entry, but with the ether-address of the adapter of de0, again no arp-request was done. With arp -s I manually set the ether-address to that of the host, and, WOW, it works! But this can't be the way to do it, can it? I would like to have a solution, where I don't have to set the ether-address by hand but it is determined by an arp-request. Btw.: if I route a whole subnet (at least 2 IPs), there's no problem anymore, fine arp-requests, fine connects. I'm really confused, and from my point of view this is a bug, but maybe someone can explain me, what I'm doing wrong?
