A guru in a chat room figured this out by adding to my rc.local file:

/sbin/ifconfig dc0 alias 192.168.254.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast
192.168.254.255 up
route add -net 0.0.0.0 64.91.31.1

He also said for me to tell them to fix "that bug" that: "That the route is
flush when the alias is added".

Thanks anyway,

Rachel
