I've been curious about this for a while and was hoping somebody could shed some insight.
We have multi-homed servers so one of the interfaces uses a static route configured within Windows. The network is 172.16.0.0/17. When I came into this current job, they had two static routes configured. 172.16.0.0/17 AND 172.16.128.0/17 both pointing to the same gateway.
This seems redundant to me. I feel like I should be able to assign a static route of 172.16.0.0/24 -> gateway. I would think the subnet is irrelevant to the route. Any IP within that /24 should go to the gateway anyway, so why have two routes?
