Hm, good question.  I was going to suggest that rev 1.59.2.2 would fix
your problem, but apparently it only fixes the problem with routes going
away, not routes appearing.

You're probably best contacting Ruslan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) directly; he's
been the one doing the work in that file, and could probably tell you if
his more recent commits address your problem.

As for the expiration of cloned routes:  They're only timed out by a
kernel process which runs minimally once every 10 minutes (more often
under heavy route load.)  This would explain why they're persisting longer
than you expect them to.  I wouldn't worry about the longer than expected
expiration though; expiration of cloned routes isn't the issue here; the
routing code should be invalidating the existing cloned routes when the
new route appears.  (Apparently this is not happening in your situation.)
