RE: Adding/changing TCP/IP default route

Adam,

It may seem contradictory, but the system does allow for multiple default
routes (up to eight I believe).

The only significant thing differentiating the default routes would be
the next hop value.

>From the V4 TCP/IP Reference:
"You can have *DFTROUTE, and specific route destination addresses.
Default routes are used only when data is sent to a remote destination
system that does not have a specific route defined. The system allows up
to eight default routes, but each route must have a unique next hop
value."
