That sounds like this:
" When started (or when a network interface is later turned on),
routed
uses an AF_ROUTE address family facility to find those directly
connected
interfaces configured into the system and marked "up". It adds
necessary
routes for the interfaces to the kernel routing table. Soon
after being
first started, and provided there is at least one interface on
which RIP
has not been disabled, routed deletes all pre-existing non-
static routes
in kernel table. Static routes in the kernel table are
preserved and
included in RIP responses if they have a valid RIP metric (see
route(8))."

Do you have a need to perform dynamic routing? Most people don't...a
static route to a default gateway works fine.
