It's probably trying to resolve a hostname without any way of doing
so.  Make sure the hostname is correctly identified in your /etc/hosts
file, and that you have "lookup file bind" (or something with file
first) in /etc/resolv.conf.  Or, if you can't or don't want to go to
all that trouble, use the IP# instead of the hostname in the "route
add" command.
