The routing service demo web application, Peter mentioned, is good for testing long routes, but has two major disadvantages. The first is that the data is only updated on a weekly basis. The second is it can be tricky to locate the problem with a route.
I have had a play with Gosmore. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Gosmore You can export (or save) the .osm data from Openstreetmap (JOSM), build the routing data, and then test routes by center clicking the start point and right clicking the end point with the mouse. Left click the edge of the map to pan. This means you are working with the latest data and can test between any two points. Do not be put off by the mention of 3 hours processing time and 90 GB disk space(that is for all the planet OSm data). It is quite quick and uses a modest amount of disk space for reasonable size areas. I have noticed that highways tagged with oneway=no are not handled properly by Gosmore which will not use such roads for routing. As the routing service demo web application uses Gosmore for routing I expect it has the same issue.
