I suppose this is a bug in linux...but I can't traceroute to x.x.x.0.
Is this some left over breakage from classful IP routing?

Even from my Ciscos, I can't do a trace ip x.x.x.0.

To me, it seems the route calculator in the PM is broken. A starting
address of 205.229.60.1 and pool size of 30 is 205.229.60.0/27, leaving
the first IP for network address and last address for broadcast. When I
setup gated on my Linux term servers, I will be aggregating in such a way.
