Newbie here...

Machine not intended to be a router, just to have two interfaced, one to local 
lan, second to a
cable modem.
Both interfaces connected to networks which supply dhcp address.  Both work.

Upon boot, both interfaces come up fine, but the default gateway gets set to my 
lan network.
I want the default gateway  to be via the cable modem, I don't want the traffic 
this machine
will be generating to be going over my lan.

It ignores /etc/mygate because both are dhcp.

If I disconnect the lan wire, and run netstart again, the default gateway is 
set correctly to the
cable modem,
then reconnect the lan, and run netstart yet again the default gateway remains 
pointed to the cable
modem as
I want.

So can anyone point me to the settings where the sequence of bringing up 
interfaces is controlled at
boot time?  Or am I just going to have to set default gateway after it is 
booted by something in
rc.local?
