Huh? man route:

SYNOPSIS
       route [-v] [-A family] add [-net|-host] target [netmask Nm] [gw Gw]
              [metric N] [mss M] [window W] [irtt I] [reject] [mod] [dyn]
              [reinstate] [[dev] If]

OPTIONS
       reject install a blocking route, which will force a route lookup to
              fail. This is for example used to mask out networks before
              using the default route. This is NOT for firewalling.

EXAMPLES
       route add -net 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 reject
              This installs a rejecting route for the private network
              "10.x.x.x."

I don't think a reject route does what you want here.
