Subject: strange broadcast gateway on netstat
Date: Sun, 20 Oct 1996 05:30:01 -0700

Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org

Precedence: bulk

This is on 2.2-961014-SNAP.

Doing a "netstat -rn" produces the following for the broadcast address:

207.34.140.127     ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff  UHLWb       1       41       ep0

"arp broadcast" produces:

broadcast (207.34.140.127) at ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permanent

Why would I be getting "ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" instead of the proper ethernet address or a link #? 

This behaviour was not apparent when I had 2.1.5.R; I have kept all system configurations the same while upgrading.

Any pointers?

TIA
