This is the cause of the phenomenon you noted under (4). If you really want to make an interface's address and routes go away, you must actually delete that address from the interface with `ifconfig xxx delete'. The IFF_UP flag is really just a hint; most interfaces don't actually check it and refuse to send. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
