[ale] flushing routing table....

[James P. Kinney III]

Unfortunately, there is no "flush" in the route command. You can echo a
null to the /proc/net/rt_cache to clear out the cache and then do the
same for the /proc/net/route  . This will probably leave the box in an
unstable state since it will now have lost the local loopback route. It
might be better to flush the cache with a null write and use route del
$i in a loop to remove all the standing routes.
