I usually specify the default gateway in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and it works just fine.
Actually, I tried putting the GATEWAY in the specific ifcfg-eth0, as well as the global /etc/sysconfig/network and it seems to be ignored. Of course things 'appear' to work just fine, but the route that is setup is
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
INSTEAD OF:
default router.example.com 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The former seems to cause all arp entries to be queried and cached. The latter works correctly. Both 'appear to work'. Does the route on your domU look like the second entry?
