BE VERY VERY CAREFUL DOING THAT! - the user asked how to modify default route as 
runtime, changing a route won't typically lock you out of a machine if your only 
way in is via ssh... but if you reload the network config and there's an error, 
watch out. Not something for the faint-of-heart if your machine is colocated 
somewhere. - Word to the wise, change as little as you have to and only what you 
need to when dealing with networking interfaces and you don't have direct 
keyboard access to the machine.
