Here's the gotcha...MICROSOFT STRIKES AGAIN... The key here is DEAD GATEWAY. If you search Microsoft for:
q157025 ; q171564 ; q128978 You can be enlightned (I certainly was) on what MS can do to a multihomed machine. Basically when the machine gets xx failures in a row, it switches default gateways. NICE. I've changed the registry to disable, we'll see if it works.
