Carlos,

   The version of 'route' on Slackware-12.2 here seems to use the '-n' option
the opposite way (as did earlier versions of the tool). According to the man
page,

        -n     show numerical addresses instead of trying to determine
               symbolic host  names. This  is useful if you are trying to
               determine why the route to your nameserver has vanished.
