RRAS May Decrement Local Static Route Metric After Calling Remote Network

SYMPTOMS

When you use Routing and Remote Access Service Update (RRAS) on a computer running Windows NT Server 4.0, if you create a static route to a network with a metric of 2 or 3, after demand-dialing and disconnecting from a remote network, the metric may change to 1.

These route metric changes can be observed using Kernrout.exe, a utility that ships with RRAS. "Kernrout print" displays the actual kernel route table in use at the time it is run, and only shows the best route to each destination.
