no, you just have to delete all the more "general" routes before
creating your new one. Or, for example, if you have both an ethernet and
a ppp, you can re-ifconfig your ethernet interface, and then subsequent
route adds will default to the ethernet provided it's netmask is such
that some other interface wouldn't get it. An option to route to specify
an interface sure would be nice.
