Thanks for the solution. |

Guess I'll settle for similar scheme for now, adding all the gateway IPs |
| 27 |
to the routing table via preup() function, parsing output of dig with |
| 28 |
awk. |

Still, overriding garbage route like that is a hack and it should be |
| 31 |
easy to write a patch for that behavior, when I'll have some spare time, |
| 32 |
provided I won't forget about the issue... ;) |
