Hello everyone,


On our side gated is doing strange things. The setup is as follows:

Local Net               FreeBSD Box /w 2 ifaces           "Backbone"
132.252.170.128/28 --- 132.252.170.129 132.252.170.242 -- 132.252.170.240/28

I call the 240/28 net backbone because there are mostly other routers 
connected routing to other /28 subnets and to the internet.

When gated starts up, it promotes the 128/28 route correctly. After 3 
minutes it reports an if_rtdown on the 129, promotes the 128/28 net as 
inaccessible to the backbone for a while and then stops sending RIP 
packets to the BB.

But:
1. The interface works ! Every other host on the 128 net talks to that 
box via that interface w/o problems

2. routed announces the route always and correct. It does as well announce a 
route to the 240/28 via the same 240/28 renundantly but...

3. when we use an additional router between the 2 nets, gated behaves 
perfectly well

You might say: just use routed then. But routed doesnt propagate ppp links

here is my /etc/gated.conf

# trace options

traceoptions "/var/tmp/gated.output" replace size 100k files 2 general ;

rip yes {
	interface de0 ripin ripout ;
	interface de1 ripin ripout ;
	interface tun noripout noripin ;
	traceoptions all ;
} ;

kernel {
	traceoptions remnants request routes info interface ;
} ;

export proto rip interface de1 {
	proto direct {
		132.252.170.128 mask 255.255.255.240 metric 1 ;
	} ;
} ;

import proto rip interface de1 {
	all ;
} ;

import proto rip interface de0 {
	all ;
} ;

# eo gated.conf

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Thomas
