I just got through one subnet change while still retaining connectivity,
however I still got a "Warning: 0.0.0.0/0: Change route failed: errno:
No such process" warning. I'll see how it goes with the next changes,
but if it doesn't get the required result I'll give the "add! default
HISADDR" change a spin.
