I was wondering if anyone else besides us has been having trouble
using static subnet defaults with versions 8.1(14) and/or 8.1(19)?
It is a very strange problem.  Everything works fine until the
box reloads.  Then the network is known via "static" instead of
just the subnet being known via "static" and the network itself
being known via "connected".
When this happens the network itself is no longer distributed
into the appropriate routing processes (even if you try using 
redistribute static).  Our set up worked just fine til
8.1.  

Here is the kicker.  The only way to make the problem go away,
is to configure the box from memory.  I have tried everything else
and conf from mem is the only thing that makes the network known
again via "connected".   I can reproduce this problem over and over
whenever I want.  There is no difference between what is in the
volitile mem, and what is in non-volitile memory at the time 
that I config it from memory.  

The problem happens on two of the three routers that we are using
static default subnet on.  

If anyone has any ideas, or if anyone else has seen this,
please let me know.

Thanks a lot!
