Routes appear magically

The H flag means "route to host". I assume that there was also a
D flag? (Dynamic route?). If so, the route was established via
an ICMP-Redirect-Host message. Presumably the redirect was sent
by your default gateway, advising your machine to use some other
gateway. This may be a stedy-state condition (ie, the default
gateway always will say that), or it may be a byproduct of route
fluctuations between your several gateway machines.
This is generally considered normal.
Best,
