I have 2 routes on my machines, I also have ip addresses on these machines in the same subnet as the routes themselves. I do a test via a trace & ping to an ip address that should always be up (the router itself), If I get 2 failures inside 2 minutes I then do a route -n flush ; route add default other ip. I do this route changed based on whatever the current default route it.
