It would be worthwhile re-addressing this issue at a BOF for OSR5
if you are going to forum. It was brought up last year, and a few
people agreed that they have seen this issue. The problem seems to
happen more often in my customer base when
1) there is more than one cisco router involved
2) the network link from the server to the client is not perfect,
i.e. may be losing packets or have temporary "no route to destination"

I have had the unusual effect of tangling up the lpd print queues, even
though a telnet session was working through a VPN from a branch office
to the head office. Even with the default route being correct, routed
and gated off, no icmp redirects from the router, adding in a host route
to the printserver restarted the print queue.

I have mused if the problem may be started when a connection is working,
say from a branch office to the head office, yet for a moment the WAN
becomes dead. A "no route to host" packet comes in for the branch office
subnet, yet some connections are still working. Somewhere in the OSR5
network routing stack a host route is created for the working connection,
hence the strange route table.
