Actually I found just yesterday that the only way I could delete multiple
default routes was to do ``route delete default'' multiple times, once for
each default.  I had added a 2nd NIC to a machine on a public IP, and had
default routes on eth0 to the private network's IP masquerading host, and
on eth1 to the public router.

The only reliable way I've found to delete routes is to use exactly the
same command used to add them, substituting ``delete'' for ``add''.

Here's a bit from my static routes setup script on one of our
systems where we're routing to an IPSec VPN box.

/sbin/route delete -net 192.168.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.253.49
/sbin/route add -net 192.168.13.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.253.49
