Please don't top-post; it makes following a discussion difficult.

The DHCP server is telling the client to create a default route via 
157.181.227.254, but for some reason it's not getting set up.

You could do this manually as follows:

# route add default gw 157.181.227.254

What's the output of:
# cd /etc/sysconfig
# fgrep GATEWAY network network-scripts/ifc*
