In my continuing experiments, I wrote a small RIP-spoofing program that DOES advertise the network I wanted advertised - and alas, it does not work. But it's showing up as a host route vs. a net route, so I need to look at it a little more carefully to find out how to "claim" it differently... :-) ...
