Well, I did a bunch of stuff, and got it to work in auto mode...but
there's ANOTHER bug with the routes...

using this config (the basic "dunno his address, dunno mine, either"):
 set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0
 delete ALL
 add default HISADDR

it fails to set the default route properly (it leaves it as 10.0.0.2), so
I have to manually route change default x.x.x.x 0 every time.  this is a
MAJOR pain.  it does the same with add 0 0 HISADDR (there's no difference
in what the commands do, anyway).

anyone have a workaround?
