I'm not sure how clean your RH5.1 installation was, and I'm not sure whether
you mean that the routes were all okay because you dynamically queried them or
because the definition files looked right, so I'll mention one thing which
changed in RH5.1, i.e. the switch to the use of linuxconf for route
maintenance, which initially caused me some grief.
RedHat 5.0 used a file called "/etc/sysconfig/static-routes". It contained
lines like:
interface-name route-option ...
e.g.
eth0 net 207.236.16.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 207.236.16.34
N.B.: There is no leading "-" on the "net" or "host" option.
RedHat 5.1 switched to a file called "/etc/conf.routes", which contains lines
like:
route-option ... interface-name
e.g.
net 207.236.16.0 gw 207.236.16.34 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
N.B.: These options are order dependent ... the dev or gw option must preceed
netmask.
