Which seems more like a bug than a feature to me. Been giving me all kinds of grief. Even doing "ifconfig if# up" creates a unwanted network route which I then have to delete so packets will go to my gateway instead of out the interface as if there was no gateway. It seems to be designed on the assumption that we have sufficiently large number of IP addresses to waste a lot of them on subnets. I'd think that ifconfig (or is it the kernel) would at least have auto-routing optional.
