static_routes not working

[Brett Glass]

Everyone:

On a new 9.0 machine I tried using the variable static_routes (and 
corresponding route_XXX variables) to create static routes in 
/etc/rc.conf. Doesn't work at boot, though it does when 
/etc/netstart is run afterward. It appears that /etc/rc.d/routing, 
where the variable is processed, is not being executed at boot 
time. Have reproduced the same problem on 8.x machines as well. All 
have custom, IPv4-only kernels. What might be wrong?
