Forwarding this to questions in case I don't have an opportunity to
figure it out...  Has anybody else seen this problem, and what was the
solution?  (Is this another instance of the `routed' bug?  I can't
tell since this person doesn't say what version he is running.)

Could you forward to your routing gurus. We have had a terrible couple of 
days. Our machine keep 'learning' bogus routes and we can't trace just 
where it's coming from. I'm trying now to give the system some fixed 
routes to overcome some problems, however the machines don't seem to also 
be learning arp entries, at least not all of them. Some machines are 
missing entries for various interfaces. I'm more worried about the 
portmasters right now, because if I do a net route to a portmaster that's 
not in the arp table, the route takes as a host instead of a net. I've 
made a file of fixed_arps to run with 'arp -f filename' command, but all 
entries for the portmasters that the system doesn't know about fail 
anyways. Here's what I'm seeing:

bash# arp -a

I've tried putting 'temp' and 'pub' entries on sac3-6, but still get the 
same thing. Very wierd.

The machines at some point learn routes of like:

165.90
and 165.90.138

Usually ether to the #link address or to a portmaster. Though I've test 
various different things and can't find anything that would cause the PM 
to broadcast routes like that. If everything was dynamic I'd just to RIP 
off on the PMs, but we do have some fixed IP people that can come in 
under any PM that I think would case problems.
