Still through 10.0.0.1, in the absence of any other information. If the
interface comes back up, it will still be there. When we come to use the
route with the interface down, we will find that we can't actually get to
10.0.0.1 so will have to back out. How this would be implemented is less
clear.
What did 4.3BSD do in this case?
