I don't know the meaning of all the fields, but if you do a "man route" it
becomes clear :-)

If you issue the route command (add -n to speed it up by not doing reverse
lookups) then you will get a list of entries. The key elemtent is in the
Flags. Those with a ! are reject routes.

So, if you do:
route -n | grep !

You'll get a list of all the volatile (until the next reboot) rejected
hosts.
