You've received an "ICMP Redirect" message. They will generate a route without you running any kind of routing daemon. The redirect message is issued by a router when it believes there is a better route to your destination than itself. The router may know that because of his own use of routing protocols, or the network manager may have loaded static routes into the router. The redirect message says, "I'll handle this packet for you, but in the future you'd be better off sending packets to this host over there." -crl -- Chad R.
