Generally (no warranty expressed or implied) the only thing you need to worry about is that the correct objects are present and protected from change by others with an appropriate maintainer. You hope that all other objects referring to the same routes are benign, in the sense that although they would potentially allow a bad thing to happen, at least they don't mess with the good thing that you want to happen.
which is what seems to be what happened here, though i do not completely understand. was hoping someone could explain the sequence of events, and what alan should/could have done. randy
