I put in a static route
ip route 172.20.21.50 255.255.255.240 ethernet 0
I saw the trace go to the next hop, but no further.
after changing from the outbound interface to the next hop routers
interface IP,
ip route 172.20.21.50 255.255.255.240 142.1.11.45
I had no problem reaching the destination.
Does anyone know why?

Thanks

correction to the above this is what I used to reach my destination
(172.20.21.50)
ip route 172.20.21.32 255.255.255.240 e0 (Doesn't work)
ip route 172.20.21.32 255.255.255.240 142.1.11.45 (works)

As I said... proxy arp. When you set an explicit next hop, your
router is going to arp for that next hop, and that device will
answer conveying back its MAC address. When you set the next
hop as your current interface, then your router is going to ARP for
the IP of the destination that is in the packet, and unless the
remote router knows that it is to answer for -all- unknown IP
address ranges (i.e, "proxy arp") then that router isn't going to answer
(and nothing local will either because it isn't the IP address
of anything local...)

I looked it up.
You are correct, the next hop is a foundry router, and the proxy arp is
disabled by default.
Nice work...
