Zombie routes are harmless. They aren't in the active routing table (or
at least they aren't used for routing packets), but they haven't yet
been deleted from the table by (I assume) a periodic table maintenance
process.

The last column is not an idle counter, it's just a measure of how old the
route is. If you find the values to be high, that coincides with the
assertion that these routes are old and no longer used :-)
