The problem was that _two_ routes were being added: the host-specific one (which was what I wanted), but _also_ one for a non-CIDR network based on the peer IP. Since the address was a 10.* address, I ended up with a /8 route, which was definitely not wanted. I got around it by suffixing the address with /32. But I am surprised that iproute2 apparently cannot explicilty set the IFF_POINTOPOINT flag (ifconfig can). -- Please don't Cc: me privately on mailing lists and Usenet, if you also post the followup to the list or newsgroup.
