Oops.  After looing at the routing tables on several machines, I took 
another look at the perl script, and noticed that it was truncating 
addresses because the format I was using had one two few <'s in it.

However, as someone else mentioned, I am getting ICMP redirects for 
addresses I already have routes for:

Jul 10 04:16:45 yoda kernel: ICMP redirect from 205.229.48.4
