Thanks, in the real world, where the remote network cannot be reached
directly, my setup works fine.

I always thought that routing metrics were applied to rules with equal
significance, so a default route should not be used when there is a more
precise route iven with higher metrics.

The route in this case is assigned dynamically using dhcp. AFAIK there
is no dhcp router metrics option.

Maybe in a directly connected setup icmp redirects take precedents.

Thanks

Erich
