Hi,

I'm running gated 3-5-8 on several servers on our backbone.  Occasionally
it removes the default route, but only on some systems.  All
systems have the following in their configuration:

static {
        default gateway 208.201.224.1 retain;
        };

     # echo `cat /etc/redhat-release /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease`
Loses route:
 Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo) 2.0.36
 Red Hat Linux release 6.1 (Cartman) 2.2.13

Doesn't lose route:
 release 4.1 (Vanderbilt) 2.0.33
 release 5.0 (Hurricane) 2.0.33
 Red Hat Linux release 5.2 (Apollo) 2.0.38
 release 4.2 (Biltmore) 2.2.14

The only common denominator:  systems that lose their default route
are running stock RedHat kernels -- when we build them here, we set
CONFIG_NETLINK=y
CONFIG_RTNETLINK=y

The environment is OSPF with 26 neighbors.

Has anyone ever seen this behavior?  Also, does anyone know of a "stronger"
way than a static route to have gated retain the default route?

Thanks,

 -Scott
