On a standard machine this is already the case, the default route is a static route (prio 8). On some routers you might normally have a default coming from BGP or OSPF, but want a last-resort default in case that protocol is not up. An example -reject default from one of my routers: $ netstat -rnfinet | grep ^default default 195.95.187.16 UG 0 2904540 - 48 ix1 default 127.0.0.1 UGRS 1 14637 32768 56 lo0 I don't remember all the details but I've had problems in the past when I had no default route, which is why I added the -reject. (And in other cases you might want a low prio route that still sends it to another machine).
