The reason for the kernel messages was an incorrect route. The route was added by the /sbin/dhclient-script script, which is invoked from dhclient. Apparently dhclient-script tries to be smart and add a bunch of static routes. > 24.93.84.28 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 3 ed1 The above line from 'netstat -nr' was the incorrect route. I removed this route and everything started functioning normally. I've read over the dhclient manpages and haven't really found any way to control what static routes are added by the dhclient-script. In the interim (until I can find a better solution), I've gone ahead and modified my copy of dhclient-script to stop it from adding the extra static routes. Does anyone know what version of dhclient is bundled with 3.3-RELEASE? Is it the current 2.0 version? Any advice would be appreciated..
