The routed broadcasts should end up on the locally attached network, if multicast fails (and I don't recall RIP using multicast). If your router is set up properly then it should reply there. > When I use gated for router discovery client (with multicast) I do *not* > see the problem I described with routed.

I'd suggest checking the routed manpage and/or relevant documentation (the UNIX sysadmin red book comes to mind).
