ok, fine. simple mistake. That still does not explain why it did not
use the default gateway instead, without even having to do any route add
commands.
It simply does not scale for me to have to add host routes every time the
default route does not work, and rebooting each time (not even sure this
would even work for it every time) does nothing for stability. This has
been observed on 2 different FreeBSD 3.4 systems.
