It is all of that. ;) I've used this in a network setup where there were multiple local links that terminated at a remote router, and the desire was that traffic be able to flow over any of them. But it leaves a bad taste in my brain, like when Cisco refers to "layer three switching". > Now since my cable ISP has me provised it this manner, and since I can't > find a method to get out from FreeBSD using the route command.

I think you do it the same way. Can't you create a route to the 10.x.x.x subnet that simply points to the outbound interface? (rummaging around for network access to router...) Yes, you can use the -interface option with the route command. Try this: route add -net 10.0.0.0 -interface (whatever). Worked for me in at least adding the route, I don't have a ready way to test it at the moment.
