-netmask is expected to work exactly the same as specifying ip/prefix, and it does work fine here: # route add -net 192.0.2.0 82.68.199.133 -netmask 255.255.255.0 add net 192.0.2.0: gateway 82.68.199.133 # netstat -rnfinet | grep ^192 192.0.2/24 82.68.199.133 UGS 0 0 - 8 vlan2 # route delete -net 192.0.2.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 delete net 192.0.2.0 # netstat -rnfinet | grep ^192 # Exactly the same behaviour as the prefix: # route add 192.0.2.0/24 82.68.199.133 add net 192.0.2.0/24: gateway 82.68.199.133 # netstat -rnfinet | grep ^192 192.0.2/24 82.68.199.133 UGS 0 0 - 8 vlan2 # route delete 192.0.2.0/24 delete net 192.0.2.0/24 # netstat -rnfinet | grep ^192 # I think the problem you ran into was something to do with the gateway address, handling of this *was* changed relatively recently, and not the syntax of address format to route(8).
