Running "route -n" does not show any of the three interfaces set as a
default gateway - all three are set as gateways (UG) though. I'm aware
there can only be one _default_ gateway.
I'm really trying to get the default routing to go through eth0. I
still have to get to working on my firewall rules (haven't done that
yet), but this is the first step.
