I don't know a lot about Windows NT, but I believe that this functionality
supports automatic failover between statically configured default gateways.
FreeBSD doesn't support this, but it does support router discovery (if you
enable a routing daemon, such as routed(8)), which is usually a better way
to handle redundant paths to the Internet.  If you can run real routing
protocols, that's even better, but you need support from your upstream
routers.
