While it is unintentional, it is not strange (to me). I've posted this
already: From my experience, every nontrivial change to a Max's routing
setup, and eventually even trivial changes, are best accompanied by a
reboot. Else the routing may need a long time to relax or even not relax
at all. I'm usually going to termserv after doing route changes and use
show ip route to see how the zomies are doing. If the route in question
doesn't even get a zombie, I reboot. If it gets one, I wait a minute or
two whether the routing relaxes. If it doesn't I reboot. At least I would
say this became better over time, I remember versions down the 4.5 sink
where we rebooted after every route change unconditionally because it
was clear to behave wrong. That's over, but a reboot is still the best cure
for a Max having routing anomalies. I'm BTW speaking sans OSPF, RIPv2 shop
only. Eventually 6.0 gets better, it has some long-outstanding fixes to
the routing (backup routing etc).
