If it has a higher priority it will take over, if the priority is lower then not. At least in the host route case it works like this. > Besides my particular case where the redirect point to a non usable > gateway (which is indeed a bad configuration on the other side), should > a redirect change a static route? That's why I suggested to add an extra route, so that we can clean it up after a while like it is done on dynamic routes cloned for stuff like MTU updates. To change a route ireversibly and automaticaly (via ICMP) has some bad after-taste. Will need to think about this. For now just turn redirection off (as you have already done). -- :wq Claudio
