route, ping, where's the net?

[ted leslie]

when i have experienced this before,
there will be some IP in the list that is a bugger to reverse map, thus holding up the whole show.
with -rn get the IP's and then identify which one isnt reversing easily by nslookup or other util.

your route add ... you have the route already i guess?

i think you are just suffering from a bad reverse lookup timing issue.
