224.0.0.2 stands for "all routers on subnet". It's one of multicast
addresses. Seems like your kernel is not multicast enabled and tries to
resolve 224.0.0.2 by non-multicast means. (??)  Your routed is probably
configured to broadcast/multicast the routing table, so it generates "no
route to host" for 224.0.0.2.

You won't find it anywhere. It maps to special ethernet address
01:00:5e:00:00:02 I think.
