As long as there is a route to the 10.0.0.0 network, you do not need a
specific route to the gateway machine. You do need to specify the
interface to use when you specify the default route.
route add default gw 10.0.0.7 eth0
Here is my routing table (route -n)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.9.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 13783 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 229 lo
0.0.0.0 192.168.9.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 4615 eth0
(I removed some spaces so the table fits.)
