Hi, I hope you can help me!!

I've a lan with some hosts.
I want that all the packets going from the host A to the host B don't go
directly to it but through the host G.

I did it, but I've a problem with my configuration, it works only a time.

I did this (A,B,G are the IP addresses):

host A :

  route add B G

host B :

    gateway_enable="YES"  (/etc/rc.conf)


Now, if I execute "traceroute B" on the host A, it works, that's the
resulting route is A-G-B.

On the contrary the second time it is: A-B.

I executed also "netstat -r", the first time there is the right entry


destination   gateway      ......
    B            G         ......



the second time it is so splitted:



destination        gateway                   ......
    B          B_ethernet_address            ......
    G          G_ethernet_address            ...



Can I avoid this splitting ?
I'd like to have forever the first entry, is it possible ?
