I have had this problem on and off since RedHat 6, and I always
worked through
it, but I thought I would ask.
When you have multiple network interfaces, how does the system
determine the
default route?
Or is it the first, (or last) interface that comes up?

On the problem systems I have to add a "route add default..."
statement in
some systems in the rc.local to get them to work right.

I have done that, but it still seems to have a mind of its own. Does the gateway statement mater where it is in the file? IE... could it be the second statement instead of the last?
