I didn't find man particularly helpful.

Your command yielded the same:

[root rc.d]# /sbin/route del -net 216.87.216.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 reject
SIOCDELRT: No such process
[root rc.d]# /sbin/route | grep 216
216.87.216.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
[root rc.d]#

No such process?!?

Gerald's post from the archives yielded the same:

[root rc.d]# /sbin/route del -host 216.87.216.0 reject
SIOCDELRT: No such process


Yet it's clearly in the output from route.!?!?!?!
