Hi, I realized on several different versions of FreeBSD including 5.4-STABLE, when using static routes to specific subnets and the WAN link goes down for unpredictable reasons, the server gets ICMP redirect message and rearranges routes to use default router. Then all the traffic is routed to the default router even the WAN link is again up. Other unix like system (HP-UX, Linux) do not act the way, i.e. they do not change static routes. Should not be ignored the ICMP redirect messages concerning static routes? Thank you very much in advance. Regards, lk
