Hi,
I am facing exactly the same issue and have to flush the main table
once the routes in the table get added. This is really nasty as I need
to this from a kernel module every time an interface is shutdown and
again brought up.

"onlink" doesn't seem to work as it "sees" the destination IP address
"onlink" instead of resolving it via the gateway. E.g. if I want to
ping 139.85.111.12 via eth1, it tries to send ARP request for
139.85.111.12  and not 192.168.5.254. So it doesn' work.

I would really link to see this behaviour fixed as the workarounds are
equally painful.

Regards
Mallika
