RTM_LOSING happens when TCP segments are lost, look for packet loss somewhere. The usual suspects are bad cables, bad connectors, mismatched duplex etc. I had it with bge(4) nics onboard Supermicro H8SSL boards, associated with errors showing up in netstat -ni - in that case moving to PCI-X em(4) sidestepped the issue. People who aren't running routed would see these messages, if they happened, by looking at 'route monitor'. > I noticed that, even with a static default route, every now and then I > try to ping the default gateway, I get ping: sendto: No route to host. If enough packets are lost to prevent ARP from getting through, you might see that.
