Hm... this is quite interesting...

Does it often happens?
I'm aware only of 2 places where routing can be removed:
1. hotplug, which I mentioned already.
   maybe some other "clever" daemon running on your system?
   RIP/OCFS?
2. OVZ crontab sript which should delete dead routes.
   can you check this one as well?

All I can suggest for debugging is to:
1. replace ip and route commands with a wrapper which logs the exact
   commands and when/who called them.
2. add similar debug to kernel.

BTW... does your host system uses DHCP or static IP assigned?

Thanks,
