Why not? Such routes work perfectly here. |

I also use them for my PPTP tunnel: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
route add -net 1.2.3.4/24 dev ppp1 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Works perfectly! I think it simply means: take all IP-packets with |
| 18 |
destination 1.2.3.4/24 and send them out through interface ppp1. |
| 19 |
|

We know such routes from local network-interfaces. |

Actually, i also always thought, that i must specify a gateway. But it |
| 24 |
seems, i was wrong. |
