They are however required to be truly standards compliant. From
RFC 1122 (Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Communication Layers),
When there is no route cache entry for the destination host
address (and the destination is not on the connected
network), the IP layer MUST pick a gateway from its list of
"default" gateways. The IP layer MUST support multiple
default gateways.
FreeBSD is not actually compliant on this issue.
