You want to tune route cache for your special needs, and not permit it 
to store 5 millions entries !

# default is a gc every 60 seconds, not good for large caches
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval
# default is 8 entries per slot..
echo 4 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_elasticity
# avoid a flush every 10 minutes
echo 3600 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/secret_interval
