netname() in src/sbin/route/route.c does this i think.
i can add several different addresses with 
route add -net xx.xx.xx.xx/24 zz.zz.zz.zz
and some of them will show up with /24 other will not.(i´m not shure 
that this is right :):) )

But the real problem that i´m expeiencing is that if i install a static route
to the interface that uses dhcp after a while this route will stop working 
despite being shown properly in the routing table. (doing a ¨route change¨
 with the same parameters fixes it)
My initial guess was that this probably has something to do with the 
periodic UPs and DOWNs of the interface that are caused by (the new?)dhclient.

For now i ¨patched¨ the situation with ¨route-to¨-s in pf.conf,
but i´ve not given up to find out what´s happening :):)
