A number of you have written me and asked if I added the routes. I had not
done so, so I went ahead and added in all 276 routes. Seems somewhat ludicris
(sp?) to me that I'd have to add a route to an IP Alias but I don't have to
have a route to a real interface.
And, having just done this:
route add -host 198.182.196.33
I tried
ping 198.182.196.33
100 % packet loss.
So, adding in 276 routes hasn't solved a thing, unless I"m adding in the wrong
type of route! Not only that, but I got a warning "fib_add_1: starting hashing
for zone 0", followed by 3 "ARP: called for my own IP".
Sigh!
