Howdy

  I am setting up a RedHat 7.3 router on a Dell gmt5100 (i586). When
I boot up the machine the routing table shows (2) entries for eth2.
  How dose this happen? Is there a file somewhere that contains this
information?

  I have been trying to delete the unwanted routing information and
then install the route I want. While I can easily install the route I
want I have not been able to find the magic combo to delete the
unwanted routes for eth2.
  Can someone tell me what form the route del -net 63.225.xxx.0 dev
eth2 command should take.

  I have printed out the route man page and read it too many times.
HELP!
