We have several 2.1.5R machines and on a couple of Livingston portmasters.
On the machines without ip aliases an with ip forwarding off I don't need
routed and when I ping to one of the dial-up addresses it finds it
and creates an arp entry for it.

On the other machine I do need routed and when I ping it has the route
to the dial-up ip-address but no arp entry.
When I don't have routed running on those machines it want's to
send to the dial-up ip through link#1.
