Hi,
I'm running 4.6 release on a pc that I have configured as
a router.  The problem occurs when an app on this router
establishes a tcp connection to some other app several hops
away.  The route caching code adds a static host route to the
forwarding table.  This is fine as long as nothing changes, but
as soon as a downstream router has an interface change or a
route change, this static host route is no longer valid.  The routing
demons, in this case gated running ospf , update the routes, but the
static route is still there causing the tcp stream to fail.
What I think I need is some way to disable the caching 'optimizations'
for locally terminated connections.  Can someone suggest some options ?

Thanks,
Rick Norman
