Is the offending route of the following form?

Network Destination Netmask Gateway Interface Metric
          a.b.c.0 255.255.255.0 a.b.c.d a.b.c.d 30

If so, it is the on-link (direct) route added when you configure the subnet
mask with the address. Since it is a system route, it cannot be deleted. I
believe your approach of setting a high metric on the interface is the best
option at present. But I would be interested in finding out what
suggestions others might have.

Mohit.

PS Could you tell us how you are configuring the VIP on the loopback
adapter?

and configuring it with VIPs. This is part of installation of load balancing
drivers on Windows 2003. This is filter intermediate driver. After
installation, i see couple of routes in the output of "route PRINT" for this
new loopback adapter. The entry is

outgoing packets from the host, where my driver is installed, are routed to
loopback adapter. The work around i found was to disable the "automatic
metric configuration" and assign high metric value, say 30. My question is
how to delete this route on Windows 2003 machine.
