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.

No they shouldn't both be allowed. There isn't a way to dynamically choose
the
route based on whether one or the other connection is up. Packets sent to
the
down route are simply lost.

are these 2 entries for a single route or 2 separate routes to a single
destination? It seems to me they are actually separate redundant routes
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.
