do you mean that "route -n flush" does not flush the routing table? make sure you're on recent and in-sync base and kernel, and show us the routing table before and after the flush, as well as the output of the flush command. if you haven't looked for a while, things may work a little differently to how you're used to; the kernel routing table supports route priorities nowadays (i.e. you can have multiple routes showing up, only the routes pointing at active interfaces are used).
