Let's have another routing flame-war!  We haven't had one in, like,
weeks...  We're overdue now, don't you think?


What happens if you type:

        route add 192.168.100.1 eth1

before you type the command that you wrote about (above)?


I've had better luck specifying routes this way then by appending the
"dev eth1" like you did above.
