I have a machine set up to run some apps like mrtg and netsaint.  This
machine monitors a corporate wan with 4 offices in the US.

washington d.c.  10.1.0.0/16
chicago  10.2.0.0/16 (netsaint is here)
boston   10.3.0.0/16
portland 10.4.0.0/16

Netsaint is configured to page me if it can no longer connect to the wan
router on one of these networks.  Each lan has it's own internet connection
and a separate router that handles internet traffic.

The problem that is coming up occasionally is that netsaint pages me saying
it can no longer see the boston wan router at 10.3.1.2.  Yet, when I telnet
into the netsaint box and do a traceroute the traffic is trying to exit the
chicago internet router instead of going through the chicago wan router and
into the frame.

If I telnet into the Chicago wan router, I can ping the boston wan router
successfuly so the Chicago wan router does have the proper route info.  I
have tried to tell the netsaint box not to accept icmp redirects thinking
that maybe the link to boston really is going down for a minute and the
chicago wan router is sending redirects for that route to the internet
router.  I actually thought this might have solved the problem, but this
morning after a few weeks of peace and quiet the same situation has cropped
up again.

Route table on the netsaint box is not showing a new route to boston, it
always looks like this (which is correct):

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt
Iface
10.2.0.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0
eth0
10.3.0.0        10.2.1.2        255.255.0.0     UG        0 0          0
eth0
10.1.0.0        10.2.1.2        255.255.0.0     UG        0 0          0
eth0
10.4.0.0        10.2.1.2        255.255.0.0     UG        0 0          0
eth0
127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo
0.0.0.0         10.2.1.2        0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0
eth0
0.0.0.0         10.2.1.2        0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0
eth0

Actual ip's of the wan routers are:

10.1.1.2 = washington
10.2.1.2 = chicago
10.3.1.2 = boston
10.4.1.2 = portland

This ONLY happens with the boston route.  The netsaint box isn't set up to
receive rip info (and there shouldn't be any being sent into the lan
anyways).  I'm at a total loss.  Rebooting the machine is the only thing
that clears this up.

Anyone have an idea?
