[NTLUG:Discuss] pushing routes to all clients.

If I understand correctly, I think someone has just explained to me a 
"better" way to setup a multi-site network.  Rather than subnetting a 
10.4.0.0/16 Class B address into subnets (such as 10.4.0.0/19 and 
10.4.32.0/19 ) and routing between the segments,  DHCP can be used to 
push 'classless' routes to the clients.

This would allow devices on the main network to use a /16 subnet with 
any routes to other network 'blocks' being passed to each client via DHCP.

Is this a practice that is REALLY done out there in the world??   I am 
beside myself with shock over this concept as it is either something way 
technically advanced of which I've never heard ...or is....misguided.

What would be the issues in trying to manage routing tables in an 
environment where you push routes to clients?
