Hello! Found something strange today.
Suppose I have eth2 with VLAN 2 (eth2.2) associated with it. I add a routing table that is associated with eth2.2 (table 76 in my case). Now, I run: ifconfig eth2 down ifconfig eth2 up All of the routes in routing table 76 are now gone! I can understand how it might be useful to remove the routes from the eth2 table (as is also done), but it seems pretty extreme to muck with the VLAN device's tables as well.
