Hi Bill,
Thanks for reply,
Interface rose0 is a pseudo interface that runs rose protocol which is similar to netrom. I use FPAC here as well as Linuxnode. In any case this interface has a metric of 30 pointing to 44.0.0.0/8 and it is not the preferred route. All my preferred routes have metric 0.
I was really wondering if my route 44.0.0.0/0 with metric 0 should actually have as a GATEWAY UCSD.EDU (169.228.66.251), or should it have 0.0.0.0 ???

Your routes look correct.
Traffic will follow the most 'precise' given route.
For example, lets first use a made-up route to 44.2.12.75. Since your table does not show a 'specific' subnet, it will use your rule of "44.0.0.0 169.228.66.251 255.0.0.0"
But, if you use a route to 44.2.14.3, your tables show a more precise route to that address, so your traffic will use your route rule of "44.2.14.0 50.79.156.221 255.255.255.248"
The only thing I see in your route that may or may not be of concern, is the third line. Not sure what your interface "rose0" goes too, but I see a possible conflict with the route right above it.
You basically have two (2) routes listed for traffic to 44.0.0.0/8 Other than that, that looks good.
As everyone's setups are custom, I don't know what that interface "rose0" does for your system.
