  We just installed 10.2, and we are having problems with the routed.
  Basically, on our gateway, we start up with 

  /etc/routed -f -h and it goes fine for a minute or two and then crashes.  

That is what the -h is supposed to do.  It tells routed to run four a
couple routing updates until the routing table is stable and then
exit.  You don't want to use -h for a gateway; it is intended for a
non-routing host.

									    The
  actual gateway machine can still talk to everything, but the rest of the
  machines going through it can not.  Occasionally, connections will come back 
  up on the other machines, but the only way to surely restore connections is to
  kill the routed and restart it.  Anyone dealt with this problem out there?
