I have the following intermitent problem.

I have several incoming serial lines, all hooked up to modems.  the ip
assignment is as follows.

ME		Remote
206.9.159.17	206.9.159.18
     "		206.9.159.19
	....
206.9.159.17	206.9.159.24

I also have an ethernet card set up as

ed0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        inet 206.9.159.17 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast 206.9.159.31

I am also running routed.

Every once in a while, right after a call disconnects  a route will be
reestablished for one 
of the dial ports, and netstat will show the following

206.9.159.18  link#1  UH   0  0  lo0

I have to manually delete this route inorder for callers to be able to use
this line again.

Can anyone tell me what could be causing this?
