---------------------------------------------

I would guess that /etc/rc.d/routing ist he script oused to set the
defaultroute during startup. So a restart to that could result in
loading the new defaultroute.
Ofcourse you could always delete the defaultroute with the "route"
command and the insert the new one also with the route command.
(remember to be extra sensitive when doing this on a remote machine)
