How do I get them out of the routing table and keep them out?
Disconnect the computers from the LAN - or change to an operating
system that doesn't include this information in the routing tables.
However, it might be easier to learn how/why they are there.

That's what I have been trying to do. I apologise for being so
completely ignorant of all the networking info. I never needed it
until I started working with OpenBSD. Filling in the holes in my
network knowledge is now a high priority. I really appreciate your help.

Really, you need to start with the basics and keep building on that. A lot of this conversation is missing from my newsfeed, but it looks like you are concentrating on the wrong stuff. How you got from suspect Danish MAC addresses to IPv6 is painful to watch.

Instead, slow down and ask yourself questions like, "what are these hex values in the output of some commands". If you learn that these are values for local routing of Ethernet frames outside of TCP or IP, then go an to query into that. This stuff fits together pretty well, but this newsgroup will expect you to do some homework.

Many of us have (with varying success, I freely admit!) learned this stuff bottom-up, just by using it. Computer inter-networking is big, and you might to accrete knowledge a bit over time. Just get the big picture and then start filling in the holes.

Just grab something like the Crab Book <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tcp3/> and start reading.

Use this as a reference (and Google, of course) to solve *immediate* problems that run into. This is the best way to fill in those holes.

Learn to use the right tool to figure out how the different parts of the networking stuff work together. Learn the nomenclature and use it! The acronyms and terms used in this field are well-established and mean exactly what they say.
