Description Gene Czarcinski 2002-09-14 23:12:16 UTC 
Description of Problem:

redhat-config-network has no way to specify using GATEWAYDEV=ethX in
/etc/sysconfig/network and thus the default route will be set to the "last"
interface initialized.

Current solution to to recognize the problem and hand-edit /etc/sysconfig/network.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
8.0
Comment 1 Gene Czarcinski 2002-09-21 20:16:46 UTC 
I suspect that the right answer to this problem is to modify
redhat-config-network so that it can set the GATWAYDEV= value in the
/etc/sysconfig/network file.  I seem to remember that previous versions of Red
Hat network configuration tools had this capability.
Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2003-03-31 11:06:58 UTC 
well, what do you expect? if you have multiple Default Gateways, you get
multiple default gw routes...
