Isn't this enough as long as the default router knows where to send packets?
Methinks that's what routers are _made_ for.

What good would that be doing? Besides - if you're such a tough guy to be
running more than one collision domain on the same medium you could even put
interface routes on your unix machines and be happy without any routers.
As a good rule of thumb: Don't put routers (except the one to get outside 8-)
) into the LANs of the production machines.

What's wrong with gated? I've been running a FreeBSD machine full of
EtherPower^2 and similar interfaces as a central router at one location. It
didn't crash and was always reliable - until I connected a leased analog
line (better: its modem) to it. Maybe the question should be "do you know of
a stable OS for ix86 based machines" 8-))))) (no religious wars please!).
