Thanks - I already tried that.

The problem appear to be that this route is simply "hard-wired" somehow to this machine - I can't find the cause of the reason it's continually adding the route, and I can't get it to remove.

I'm working my way round the problem by moving the problem domain to this box - but I'll still have other domains on the 216.87.216.0 where it's going to report back "No route" - just the route is there as Eth0

[root admin]# ping 216.87.216.219
PING 216.87.216.219 (216.87.216.219): 56 data bytes

--- 216.87.216.219 ping statistics ---
36 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss


yet from the machine sat right next to it...

[root admin]# ping 216.87.216.219
PING 216.87.216.219 (216.87.216.219): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 216.87.216.219: icmp_seq=0 ttl=239 time=77.6 ms
64 bytes from 216.87.216.219: icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=76.5 ms

--- 216.87.216.219 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 76.5/77.0/77.6 ms


This has me totally at a loss now... how would the box generate this route which it can't find to remove?
