Of course, this is correct and maybe I made my "use in.routed -q" statement
rather quickly. I did infer, however, that in the method I described, that
at least one machine on your net (a gateway) "handle" the routing, which
basically implies that it broadcast RIP (Routing Information Protocol) to
all the other machines which are running in.routed quietly and just listening
for info...    -whew-

When I used to use static routing, I added the required "route add" statement
in /etc/rc right after I mounted the file systems... this was needed since my
/usr partition was (and still is) a separate file system.
