default route question.

["KroNiC~BSD" <kronic_bsd@fastmail.fm>]

I am running a openbsd-3.3 pf firewall with a cable modem "comcast".

A question about the default route, i must be reading this incorrect.

ok, The ip address on my external interface,,,via dhcp from my isp.

TraNsLaToR# ifconfig ep2
ep2: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
        address: 00:60:97:22:5c:3c
        media: Ethernet 10baseT
        inet6 fe80::260:97ff:fe22:5c3c%ep2 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x6
        inet 12.210.147.136 netmask 0xfffff800 broadcast 255.255.255.255


now my routing table:


TraNsLaToR# route show

how can my default route be 

default          12-210-144-1.clien UG 

when my address on the ex. interface is not in the same subnet?

if my ex. interface addy is 

12.210.147.136 ...should not my default GW be on the 12.210.147.0
network.
i would have thought it would be .1 as in 12.210.147.1

anyways am i reading this wrong?
