Ken,
I think Pasi's on to something there, I bet the GATEWAY command in
ifcfg-eth0 is mistyped or has a syntax error. In the interem, however, a
better hack might be to move the route statement from rc.local, which only
runs at boot, to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 . That will
enable the network service to restart or the eth0 interface to downup
without removing the default route.
