I don't know a lot about Windows NT, but I believe that this functionality supports automatic failover between statically configured default gateways. FreeBSD doesn't support this, but it does support router discovery (if you enable a routing daemon, such as routed(8)), which is usually a better way to handle redundant paths to the Internet. If you can run real routing protocols, that's even better, but you need support from your upstream routers.
