I got that message when changing a server from NetBSD to FreeBSD
last week. It turned out that some static route commands I brought
across from NetBSD didn't work on FreeBSD.
My situation was a PPP link to a host I will call access-server.
My end of the PPP link was assigned an IP address I will call
news-dialin. This link provides a news feed and is not the
default route for the host, hence the static route.
I then had a static route...
route add -host news.other.domain news-dialin.other.domain
I found I had to change it to...
route add -host news.other.domain access-server.other.domain
before it would work. So it looks like you can only add gateway
routes that reference the "other side" of a point to point link
rather than the "local side".
This may or may not help you, it depends on your situation.
Cheers.
