The only reason for this I can see is because bird is determining reachability on the basis of its FIB only (as opposed to the kernel routing table) and there is no FIB entry for 10.255.199.0/24 (from show route). How are such interface routes meant to get into the FIB?
2 further bits of information: 1. bird version 1.3.2-1 (Ubuntu Oneiric) 2. gateway-direct fixes this, but I don't understand why. If a direct lookup succeeds, then surely a recursive lookup must always succeed? -- Alex Bligh
