>Description:
In the routingtable is a blackhole reject route:

Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
192.168.0/16       127.0.0.1          UGR1        0        0    lo0

With fastforwarding disabled, a ICMP reject is generated:
traceroute to 192.168.200.1 (192.168.200.1), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  10.0.0.175 (10.0.0.175)  2.752 ms  0.231 ms  0.208 ms
 2  10.0.0.175 (10.0.0.175)  0.224 ms !H  0.187 ms !H  0.193 ms !H

With fastforwarding enabled, not:
traceroute to 192.168.200.1 (192.168.200.1), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets
 1  10.0.0.175 (10.0.0.175)  0.620 ms  0.214 ms  0.142 ms
 2  * * *
 3  * * *
 4  * * *


>How-To-Repeat:
No problem:
At the router:
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
route add -net 192.168.0.0/8 lo0 -reject -nostatic -proto1

At another machine:
route add -net 192.168.100.0/24 gateway <ipoftherouter>
traceroute 192.168.101.1

Problem:
At the router:
sysctl -w net.inet.ip.fastforwarding=1

At another machine:
traceroute 192.168.101.1
