"route" by default tries to map IP addresses to hostnames. the way you
have it set up, something in your host table can't be resolved by either
/etc/hosts or DNS. "route -n" tells route not to resolve addresses to
names. "-n" simply means generate numeric output only.
similarly, "netstat -r" should also hang, and "netstat -nr" should work,
for exactly the same reason.
and while we're on the subject, "ping" versus "ping -n". same deal.
