Sorry it has taken me so long to summerize (been busy) but the popular
vote was to not run routed at all on the 670 but to simply set up a default
route (specified in /etc/defaultrouter) to the one and only router. This
does make a lot of sense now that I think about it :-). When an /etc/
defaultrouter file is specified, /etc/rc.local takes care of setting up the
default route and does not file up routed.
Suggestion #2: run gated instead of routed (suggested by a few people)
Suggestion #3: the Cisco was the problem by not announcing all routes
Suggestion #4: change the broadcast address to end in ones instead of zeros
Suggestion #5: install patch 100283-03: 4.1.1;4.1.2;4.1.3: in.routed
mishandles gateways, multiple routes
I chose to use the default route method and everything has been working fine
for a couple of weeks now. Thanks to all who responded:
