Thomas,

no, this doesn't make any sense.

More interesting, now that all nodes are set at 255.0.0.0 everything
seems to be working fine.  A few routes would work, but everything
started to work after I switched the last node from a /24 netmask to a
/8.

For now, everything seems to be working great.
