	No.  This message is saying that the network is not directly
	reachable or the host is not reachable through a directly
	connected network.  This does work in WIndows, Linux...but not
	FreeBSD because it is not a proper way to do routing.


	You could try:

	route add -host 212.212.212.212 -iface ep0
	ipfw add 100 fwd 212.212.212.212 ip from any to any out via ep0

	I don't know if it will work or not.
