My earlier response reduced to the pertinent parts.  You have now read
the man page where it describes the mechanism that leads routed to clean
up routes learned via ICMP Redirect when they stop working, right?  You
are running routed, right?

RIP isn't *that* much more complicated than this chain of
correspondence, but of course you'll need the Cicso router admin to play
along.

Configuring the router to accurately forecast the future, so it knows
when the network admin plans to change the topology, and then inserting
that time into a packet that has no field for such data, now that's
complicated.  You'll need to redo a whole bunch of RFCs.  And invent an
accurate mechanism for forecasting the future, after which your server
will be the very least of your worries.  :-)

See http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/icmp/msg5.htm for the
details on that; there really isn't a mechanism built into redirects for
expiring them.

On FreeBSD, the only mechanisms I know about (and on this I'd love it if
somebody can tell me about others) for clearing routes learned from a an
ICMP Redirect are to manually remove the route or to allow the kernel
and routed to interact to start pulling routes when TCP handshakes start
timing out.  Or you could just reboot your server on a regular basis,
but that seems a bit crude.

I suppose the closest thing to your original request would be to write a
script and drop it into cron that removed all routes with the D (and M?)
flags periodically.
