Thanks for the invite... But I managed to work it out (my news service seems 
to be WAY slow in getting your message).

I took out the static routes from sysconfig and let routed -s do the work for 
me.  I don't know if this is the "appropriate" method, but it seemed to work.

I also made the mistake of assuming that routing was being handled in the 
same way as FreeBSD 1.x... although I haven't spent any time looking over the 
differences, there seems to be some.

Thanks tons!
Blake
