So do I, but why is flushroutes true out of the box?

For example, if root is local but /var is on NFS, you will get similar problems. Perhaps a better test would be that dhcpcd shouldn't touch the default route unless the default route is through the interface that dhcpcd is managing. --apb (Alan Barrett)
