[LARTC] Rip problems

Hello,

	I am running a portmaster for dialup customers.  This portmaster has a T1 
connected to it, and is the gateway to the internet.  Behind it I have a 
class C network divided up into 4 subnets, netmask 255.255.255.192 or /26.  
One of the subnets is behind my linuxbox (the 192 network).  The portmaster 
is running rip(1), so I installed routed on the linux box, and configured it 
to share its information.

ie.
EXPORT_GATEWAY="no"
SILENT="no"

  When I start routed, the appropriate routes show up in the portmaster after 
about a 30 seconds, and all works good for about 2 1/2 minutes.  Then the 
portmaster sets the Metric to 16 for the route to my subnet behind the 
firewall, and routing quits working.  If I restart routed, we will repeat the 
process.  If I stop routed during the 2 1/2 mins, it will immediately set the 
Met to 16.  This tells me that they are communicating because when I shut 
routed down the metric is set to 16.  But why does this happen exactly at 2 
1/2 min??  I am quite confused?

Any suggestions would be great.
