No, but I have now, and it made no difference. From my perspective, it
looks like a failure in the routing policy database, so I'm not suprised
that an 'ip route' command didn't change the situation. (However I know
nothing about the code internals, so I'm happy to conceed the point if
someone knows better).

BTW, how long do route caches last?
