i had a simple networking question.

This is the setup i have.

           10.0.0.2   10.0.1.1       10.0.1.5
                _ _ b- - - - - - - - -e
 10.0.0.1      |          
 a-----Switch-- 
          |    |_ _ c
          |   10.0.0.3
          |
          d  
         10.0.0.5
                

and following is an entry in d:
destination  Gateway    interface
 10.0.1/24   0.0.0.0      rl0


but when i ping 10.0.1.2 or 10.0.1.5 , i cant reach.
what exactly does the gateway of 0.0.0.0 mean?this
gateway of 0.0.0.0 for 10.0.1/24 is automatically
generated by a script which i run as part of an
installation.so the entry of 0.0.0.0 is correct.i need
to know why its not working as it should.so i think i
need to know what exactly a gateway of 0.0.0.0 means
to the packets to 10.0.1/24.
any help will be appreciated.
Vinod
