Yeah, Do you see the difference:
  > bsampley           localhost          UH          0      199       lo0
was added by routed. You can get this efect by including the following
into your /etc/sysconfig file:
	> static_routes="loopback"
	> route_loopback="${hostname} localhost"

This will create the static route to your host using the loopback
interface. From the shell you can say:
	# route add bsampley localhost
