Well, here are my settings, which I believe are right:

mi@rtfm:~ (840) netstat -rn
Routing tables

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags     Refs     Use     Netif Expire
default            10.10.0.2          UGSc        1        0      ep0
10.10/29           link#1             UC          0        0      ep0
10.10.0.1          0:20:af:b:86:4d    UHLW        0      193      lo0
10.10.0.2          0:60:8c:f3:77:7c   UHLW       18  5350377      ep0    582
10.10.0.3          0:a0:c9:83:b:d5    UHS         1       31      ep0

mi@rtfm:~ (841) ifconfig ep0
ep0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

        ether 00:20:af:0b:86:4d 

The netmask is, indeed, unusual, but that's what I use, and that's what
is specified in the bootptab: 

mi@rtfm:~ (842) route get 10.10.0.3
   route to: guest
destination: guest
  interface: ep0
      flags: <UP,HOST,DONE,STATIC>

       0         0         0         0         0         0      1500   -729304

Anything else I'm overlooking? Thanks!
