Thanks, that fixed the problems! I had a GATEWAY line for the internal 
interface, I'm guessing that's what was setting up the wrong route (and 
GATEWAYDEV missing from /etc/sysconfig/network).

I left the route-eth0 file the way the system wanted it (GATEWAY0=my 
gateway, ADDRESS0=0.0.0.0), and I duplicated the relevant files to 
/etc/.../profiles/default/; I haven't rebooted to see if it still 
works, but I will.

Thanks!

Now, what's the proper content of route-eth0? Is it arguments to route, 
or is it name-value pairs?

Thanks!
