The only solution, which works for me, it to set the route new after
gated is started. Under RedHat 5.0, I run ifup lo after gated, and it
seems to work, gated doesn't remove or reject this new route then.
The changes in gated.conf doesn't help, if I set the 127.0.0.0 route
before starting gated, gated will remove it in every case.

Thanks for the answers,

Thorsten

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
