Several machines are missing route/arp entries for machines that are clearly on the backbone. I'm running the lastest supped version of 2.1, routed. If I try to manually add the arp entry it tells me the host isn't on the local network. It's frustrating because if I add my own route it doesn't do any good, because my Internet router does know about the machine and so whenever any destined for that IP gets the the router the router rebroadcasts the route and the BSD learns a route that has no gateway! The only cure thus far has been to reset the system. :(
