More related oddities.  As before, "netstat -nr" tells me that
there is a route to 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.1.  However,
"route get 192.168.1.2" gives the default route.

Attempting to delete the route to 192.168.1.2 gives an error, as
if it cannot find such a route.  If I add the route, netstat shows
two routes, but now the packets go where they are supposed to.

Thanks,

In message <MOBYDICKlrjbudzxxfY00000123@mobydick.int.entrisphere.com>, you said:
;
;I've attached what I think is the relevant output below.
;
;Notice the route for 192.168.1.1, which should be reachable via
;interface tun8.  For some reason that I cannot fathom, "route get
;192.168.1.1" tells me that it's using the default route out the
;"fe0" interface, instead of the the more specific route (which
;appears to be marked UP) as far as I can tell.
;
;According to route(4), the most specific route should be picked:
;
;     "When routing a packet, the kernel will attempt to find the
;     most specific route matching the destination.  (If there are
;     two different mask and value-under-the-mask pairs that match,
;     the more specific is the one with more bits in the mask.  A
;     route to a host is regarded as being supplied with a mask of
;     as many ones as there are bits in the destination).  If no
;     entry is found, the destination is declared to be unreachable,
;     and a routing-miss message is generated if there are any
;     listers on the routing control socket described below.
;
;Does anyone have any idea what is happening here?
;
;If additional information would be helpful, let me know and I'll provide
;it!
;
;Background:
;* I'm running gated(8)
;
;* I seem to notice this problem after bringing an interface down
;  and back up.  It works correctly after the interface comes
;  up the first time.  The "route get" starts returning the wrong route
;  after the interface goes down and comes back up.
;
;
;Thanks,
