If you look at src/sys/net/route.c you will find a function (in -CURRENT) called rtrequest1(). Read through that routine to see how to do an RTM_ADD. You will need a destination and netmask, yes. The destination for the default route is 0 and you need to set the gateway to the correct gateway. For debuggging this you should have something listening to a routing socket and printing out the messages. In userland on FreeBSD we do this with "route monitor", see the route(8) man page for more information. Later, Georgehome | help
