Hi all, problem solved

I'ld like to thank :
Stiffler Durden who suggested /etc/inet.local (there is nothing in there),
Statish (deil at bajajuto dot co dot in) who suggested /sbin/rc3.d/* (nothing in there though)
Phil Baldwin who suggested gated as the guilty for that (gated was not running)
Girish Phadke who suggested the file /etc/gateways (nothing in there either)
Samier Kesou who suggested /etc/networks (nothing suspicious)

Finally the solution was given by :
Michael James Bradford ,
Samier Kesou (on a later mail after i told him that the file looked empty)
and
Maagdenberg, Andreas

They all suggested (correctly as it seems) that they might have been occured by icmp-redirects.
You may check that if you see the flag 'D' (or the flag 'M') on the "netstat -rn" output

A 'man netstat' should have told me that, if I was clever enough to do that before asking (instead I thought a 'man route' would be enough).

The solution for kind of avoiding this phenomenon if I understood correctly (for example when your network engineers are applying changes all the time to the gateways) is given by Maagdenberg Andreas:

# dbx -k /vmunix /dev/mem
dbx> patch icmp_rejectcodemask=32
dbx> quit

Original question follows.
Once again thanks to everybody.
