Are you using PPPoE for connecting to your ISP?
I don't want to waste your time with suggestions about PPPoE-related
troubleshooting if that is not appropriate. I mention this because the only
comparable routing entries that I have seen (to what you describe in your
email) is with tun devices. It will be very helpful to have additional
information.
Here is an example from one of the OBSD firewalls here that uses PPPoE:
$ uptime
2:56PM up 183 days, 23:44, 2 users, load averages: 0.07, 0.08, 0.08
$ netstat -nrf inet
Routing tables
Internet:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu
Interface
default 205.200.28.28 UGS 2 13884207 1400 tun0
127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 260868 33224 lo0
205.200.28.28 206.45.64.231 UH 1 0 1400 tun0
$ ifconfig -a
tun0: flags=8011<UP,POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST> mtu 1400
inet 206.45.64.231 --> 205.200.28.28 netmask 0xffffffff
Other than some set up like this, I cannot see how 209.216.77.6 can be the
default gateway for an interface with the IP address 209.216.76.1.

Subject: Unable to build Gateway route
Hello.
I've been running other firewalls on this IP address with the same
settings in the past, but am having problems setting up the Gateway
with OpenBSD 3.8. It comes back with "no route to host" and when I do
a nestat -rn, the Gateway is missing even though /etc/mygate exists.
IP - 209.216.76.1
Netmask - 255.255.255.252
GW - 209.216.77.6
Any clues to what is going on ?
