Question about 4.2 routed

[Brian Atkins]

Why do non-internetwork routers respond to REQUEST packets?

Also, I am seeing a problem a route to a network will get into the
table as a gateway even though there is an interface to the local
route.  To better explain this, here is an example netstat -r.

		(This is from machine "192.15.1.95")
Destination     Gateway         Flags  Reference  Use        Interface
					Count 
default         192.15.1.25      UG        0      0          il0
192.15.1.0      192.15.1.25      UG        0      0          il0
loopback-net    localhost        U         0      1231       lo0
192.15.1.0      192.15.1.95      U         1      3954       il0


Note that there are two routes to 192.15.1, one is a gateway, 192.15.1.25,
and the other is an interface, 192.15.1.95.

How can this happen?  Has anyone seen this happen?  How can I prevent
it from happening?

Please respond via mail.  If there is enough interest, I will summarize 
to the net.

Thanks in advance
