Seems right.  I agree with GAF, I'd expect the duplicate entry in your
routing table would cause a problem.  I also remember seeing this...  I
can't remember how we fixed it, but once we got the extra route to stop
showing up, things started working properly.

You'd need to stop and start inetd... if you didn't that should fix the
problem.  If you did, then I have no idea what the problem is.
