I was reviewing this again and instead of doing the above, it would
be better to use rt_bind_peer() to update rt->peer as well.

                        if (!rt->peer)
                                rt_bind_peer(rt, rt->rt_dst, 1);

                        peer = rt->peer;
                        if (peer) {
                                peer->redirect_learned.a4 = new_gw;
                                atomic_inc(&__rt_peer_genid);
                        }


but I am not sure if I understood you completely when you say
to do such that only an inetpeer cache probe is necessary.

thanks again,
fbl
