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. -- Crist J.
