Thank you.  I was grasping at straws in this case to solve a strange
routing problem that turned out to be a misconfigured gateway
firewall.  It was a very odd error because it only affected one of our
off-site net-blocks. So tracking it down cause a little more
hair-pulling than usual.

Fixed for now.
