I'm adding the default gateway to the route through "route add default gw 10.10.10.10 <http://10.10.10.10>" which is also shown in "route -n" but the problem is that as soon as I restart the network through /etc/init.d/network restart; the route sets to default one...!
SO, my question is there any way to save the modified route permanently by hardcoding the changes?

It would be very nice if the init.d script would allow the sysadmin to do something like "service network saveroutes". I always thought that would be a neat feature.

Routes only work when you can reach the next hop.  That is,  if you try to add a route through an interface that is not up, the command will fail and the route will not be added.  If you want a route to be added when an interface comes up, there is already a place to do that. However, as others have pointed out you shouldn't expect multiple concurrent default routes to do something useful - but if you have multiple interfaces you can configure them both to add default routes and bring only one up at a time.
