seems to be the topic of the week over at freebsd-questions. short end of
the stick is, freebsd as it is today does not do multipath routing, so you
cant add a default route to two gateways for round robin usage. however,
there was a multipath patch for 4-STABLE some months back, though for the
life of me, i don't know where it's archived anymore.

check -questions archives for this thread.
