Subject:   Slow routing table display

I'm running FBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE on a machine with two 
Ethernet cards.  One card is on a private net, the other I've
used Wide-DHCP to configure the interface to my ISP.

I'm not running routed.  I've compiled the kernel with option 
IPFIREWALL, gateway is enabled, and the firewall is enabled 
with the type set to "open".

When I run

#netstat -r

I get the output header, but it takes several minutes for
any routing info to be displayed.  Also, network traffic seems 
to be generated before the route info comes up.

I would have expected the routing tables to be calculated when
the interfaces are set up.  Is this normal?  What is the traffic for?

Thanks,
Jeff
