You should not need any entries in your rc.local file. Unless you have
additional static routes to add to your system (which, as near as I can tell,
you do not), then everything should be taken care of by the scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Please post your ifcfg-lo ahd ifcfg-eth0 from
that directory (and delete the 'route' entries in rc.local).
The difference between route -n and route indicates that you still have a
name resolution problem (the -n tells route not to bother converting the
numbers to names, hence the lack of delay). But, lets fix the routing
problems first and deal with name lookup afterwards............................Ian
