I guess I didn't make it clear enough, let me try again.

I'm attempting to create a static route for my FreeBSD host so that
*all* local traffic is routed across the gateway firewall, rather than
being delivered on the local network segment, as is the default with
LANs.  If you view the routing table (below) again, you'll notice that
traffic from the FreeBSD box (192.168.0.53) to another box on the same
subnet (192.168.0.42) is still being delivered locally, rather than
being routed through the gateway (192.168.0.1).  This is *after* I've
added a static route for 192.168.0.0/24 to use 192.168.0.1.

There are no routers inbetween.  Just a host on a LAN behind a firewall
(which routes between the LAN and the internet, of course).
