Are the cloned routes > hanging around despite the gateway IP number changing ? Well, I've been trying to duplicate the error all weekend without any success. I suppose that the problem must have been in something other than PPP. No old cloned routes hang around. The real IP numbers hang around when the link is down, but I suppose they are really the best possible guesses for the new dynamic IP numbers. The only problem I can forsee with this strategy is a dial-up caused by netstat -r while offline. Of course, this can be corrected by your ppp.linkdown suggestion.
