You're running routed. It has a "feature" that static routes are replaced
by dynamic ones, and when the dynamic route goes away, instead of the static
route reappearing, there isn't any route at all.
You probably have a router which is announcing the default network via RIP.
You can either not run routed on the BSDI box or fix the router to not send
announcements for the routes you want to keep static. For a Cisco router,
you'd use something like:
router rip
distribute-list 40 out
!
access-list 40 deny 0.0.0.0
access-list 40 permit 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
This will block announcements of the default route (0.0.0.0) but allow all
other announcements. You can add additional networks by adding more deny lines.
