Hi Folks,
Just wondering if someone could shed some light on why it seems that some tcp utilities seem to ignore the kernel routing table. For example: (Sorry about the wrapping..)

% /sbin/route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
192.168.10.0    192.168.1.125   255.255.255.0   UG    0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

% telnet 192.168.10.4
Trying 192.168.10.4...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

Um. Yes there is a route to the host. Right there in the kernel routing table. It says to go by way of .1.125.

What gives? I think this also affects the cups printing manager as it does nothing but report no printer at the specified address/port.

Thanks,
~Brian
