The problem with defaultrouter that it supposedly starts the Solaris routing
software too. This is a bad thing since it would "publish" the Nodebus IP
addresses.
I can't say that I've tested that myself, but if someone (Darryl?) is using
it do a ps -ef | grep in.routed and see if it is running. If it is, you
could be publishing a bunch of IP addresses that are not unique.

The Sun way is to add the entry for the router in /etc/hosts
112.113.1.1 router
Then create a file called /etc/defaultrouter with the word 'router'
in
it.
echo router >/etc/defaultrouter
When Solaris boots it will configure the default router for you.
