btw, _why_ can't I have two (or 3 or 4) default routes, other than
that nobody already implemented it?

Eg. on a Cisco I _can_ have a bunch of default routes, only that their
metric should be different. In that case the router uses the best one,
and the second best (and so on) when the best fails. This happens
in an instant.


Best,
