If I don't made a mistake, and it is a fact, that static single-host routes to directly connected interfaces only work by setting the ethernet-address, i think it is really a bug. After all the man-page states that it works, then it should work, shouldn't it? (I'm naive, I know) To make friends here: With Linux it works! ;-) Sven > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > Date: Sat, 5 Dec 1998 10:17:05 +0100 (MET) > > From: Sven Anderson <Sven.Anderson@AMS.Med.Uni-Goettingen.DE> > > To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Static host routes don't work? > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm running 2.2.8-RELEASE, and I noticed, that static host routes to > > directly connected hosts don't seem to work correctly.
