[Babel-users] not routing

[Michael Grant]

We're getting closer here!

Except babeld on B is not inserting a default route to A until the
adsl line on A goes away.  And it withdrawls it when the line comes
back up.

--line is plugged in--
root at grant:~#
root at grant:~# ip route show table 42
81.56.253.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink
10.11.0.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink

-- unplug ethernet to adsl router
root at grant:~# ip route show table 42
81.56.253.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink
10.11.0.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink
default via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink

--re-plug ethernet to adsl router--
root at grant:~#
root at grant:~# ip route show table 42
81.56.253.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink
10.11.0.0/24 via 10.38.8.1 dev eth0.1  proto 42  metric 50 onlink

Why is it doing this?  How can I get it to insert that default route
regardless of whether there is already a default route in the main
table?
