ok, multiple static routes to the same place I can see why not. We do have dynamic routing available to us though via RIP. Would RIP or another routing protocol not handle this in the case of the route being unreliable and drop that route? Why must routes be persistent rather than dynamic? In a larger sense and I realize we're not there yet it would seem that rather than having to know the routes to all other 44net hosts from boot it would be much easier to have each area (for instance each /16 or maybe in some cases each /24) to have a designated router (say at .1) or possibly use multicast to discover one's local router. thus the initial config is simplified as it has a single route to the 44net gateway for it's area from which it may discover via dynamic routing other routes. no more need to manually distribute and update a routing table. This seems to be something to work towards.

to
the same /21. should redundant routes not be allowed? It would seem
quite
the reverse that redundancy being useful and importaint these ought to be allowed to stand so long as they are valid routes to the specified /21.

No, there should not be two entries for one route and the portal should not allow this to happen, so I will look into how it occurred and
amend the
code as necessary.
Thanks, Chris
