[nsp] Routing decisions on a PIX?

Either static's take precedence, or it uses the first one it finds, I'm not
sure which.  I had a scenario where there where VPN connections and internal
WAN connections and they were all on 172.16.x.x.  I assumed it would work
like a router and use the longest match, so if I had a 172.16.0.0
255.255.0.0 route inside, any of the VPN connections would override that
since they were all 255.255.255.0 networks.  However, the VPN's didn't work
until I removed the route inside and added a bunch of class C route's
pointing inside.  I'm assuming that it uses the first match it finds, but
that's just a guess.
