That has been something that has bugged me for a while. Ill take a look at some possibilities (with just the scripts in rc.d) that might be a solution to this soon as I get a chance over this next week. It might just be meaningful to merge the correct areas of the routing script into the netif scripts restart and relevant sections. Ill look at this as soon as I get a chance. Unless if someone has another theory about whether those routes should be deleted at all if the ifnet address still exists on the parent interface ?.
