>Description:
a) If you set a route to a locally connected host with
route add -host hostIP -interface localIP
the route is set, but dosn't work. The man-page says it should work.
I guess it is the wrong type of route (UHS) which is set, and it should
be a link#X type of route (UHCS). Either this option combination 
shouldn't be possible or it should work.
b) If you use the -interface option with a devicename, the gateway ist set
to the ether-address of the local device and not of the destination host.
You then have to set the correct ether-address with the arp -s command.

>How-To-Repeat:
a) Type:
route add -host hostIP -interface localIP
where hostIP is the IP of any host in your local network and localIP
is the IP of your network interface. After that the host is not
reachable anymore.
b) Type:
route add -host hostIP -interface devicename
where hostIP is the IP of any host in your local network and devicename
is the name of your ethernet-device. After that the host is not
reachable anymore, until you set the correct ether-address with the
arp -s command.
