Carl

have you tried associating the default routes with a specific interface ?

I seem to remember having the same problem when adding an internet 
connection and bound each of the default routes I needed to a specific 
interface.

Sorry I can't remember the parameters that I added but maybe this will 
point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps

Regards
Evan Harris
