I'd skip the "-host -interface" bit.  Before the route command, you should
have:

Destination	Gateway		.....		Netif
172.16.16.2	172.16.16.2	.....		ed0

Then running "route add 194.195.236.98 172.16.16.2" should produce

194.195.236.98	172.16.16.2	.....

If it doesn't, what other specific route entries do you have ?
