Hello,
I'm having a doozy of a problem keeping a default route set up
on a box I just upgraded today from 4.8-RC to 4.9-PR. After the upgrade,
the machine will come up but quickly it will lose it's default route.
The only way I can keep it from dropping the default route now is to
continuously ping across it. If I stop for more than about 15 seconds,
it'll get removed from the netstat -rn results.
I don't mind researching possible means to fix it, but it's kinda hard
when you have to hammer someone else's IP with pings to keep the link up
or type route add default xx.xxx.xxx.xx every 15 seconds in order to
surf... Are there any ways I can nail a route up without giving FreeBSD
the ability to back it out automagically so I can fix this long enough
to fix it the right way?
Here's the relavent info:

This has been discussed heavily in the -stable list. It seems the arp
patch (incorporated into the world of 4.9, 4.8, et al) caused a loss of
default routes on some systems. It was just mentioned that there seems
to be an update addressing this issue. To fix it, you may want to
roll back to 4.8 and wait for the fix for the arp advisory to be placed
into a patch and the source tree.
Cheers
