I may have misunderstood. In the case where you do something like:
ifconfig eh0 10.0.4.1
route add default 10.0.0.1
ifconfig eh0 10.0.4.2
your change would remove the default route outright, as I read it. It
certainly needs to be reevaluated as to how we actually get to 10.0.0.1
following the reconfiguration of the interface route, but should we remove
the default route altogether?
