UGHD would seem to indicate that your box has been told (by ICMP redirects) not to use your configured default gateway to reach a specific host, but to use a different gateway instead. It is not necessarily a bad thing. My guess: either (a) there are two or more available gateways upstream from you and they are legitimately collaborating to inform you of the best (possibly only) routes to use to get to various destinations, or (b) you are getting bad ICMP redirects from somewhere, either accidental or intentional. If you know that one or more of the indicated UGHD routes is just plain wrong, that would be bad (maybe a spoofing or DoS attack of some kind). If you are unsure whether the routes are valid or not, contact the route provider upstream from you for clarification of whether this is legitimate (and whether you have specified the correct default gateway in the first place). -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
