Are you sure?

I'm not really familiar with the routing code in the current kernel,
so someone may yet correct me. However, judging from the 2.0.24
source, recent kernels *only* store ICMP redirects in the route cache,
not in the routing tables.

As far as I know, there's no standard utility to view the route cache,
but you can "cat /proc/net/rt_cache". Any routes with the RTF_DYNAMIC
bit (0x10) set in "flags" are the result of a redirect.

Even though these entries won't appear in the routing table, they'll
still be used.
