By system you mean the machine routed is running on, right? As far as
I interpret the log, there is something sent from the printer (which is
192.168.21.92) to the system, which makes it complain.
I have about 70 machine on three NICs on the system running routed (PCs,
MACs, HPs, SGIs, Suns, HP-Printers, and of course, FreeBSD machines),
but 192.168.21.92 is the only Kyocera Printer. Is it possible that just
the Kyocera is doing something strange about what routed complains?

And, I can see many host routes created, but the complains are only
for 192.168.21.92.

Unfortunately, I use routed to distribute my routes so I don't have
to create static routes on my other machines. Maybe, this effect
would be gone when running gated, but I still haven't had time
to figure out how to configure it...
