weird routing thing (fwd)

Sorry to ask in linux-kernel but I haven't seen any traffic on
linux-admin for almost two days and I have a client tomorrow
who is converting to linux.

What's the deal with this "Multiple interfaces found" message I'm
getting? Setting this up should be so trivial but it has me confounded
at the moment. It's not like I haven't done it dozens of times before,
like right now for instance, from my home machine.

Thanks,
Eric

This is a redhat 5.1 box and I've never had weirdnesses like this
before. Shouldn't the default route send all the traffic out the
ppp0 interface? I first noticed this when the caching only named
wouldn't resolve even though I was dialed up.
