Btw, this is the default.. Gateways which can not be learn't, should be added in /etc/gateways and marked as passive (the route does not change due to any routing information received). ie. net foo.bar.com gateway gw.foo.bar.com metric X passive where X is the hop count (metric) But then, im not sure if additional routing information is what your after from these routers.
