    A huge thanks to Ed Quillen, who pointed to me to Sun infodoc ID70062, which
    details this configuration.

    Those running IPMP take note- implementing the config as defined in this
    infodoc eliminates your defaultrouter as a SPOF. Even if the router dies,
    IPMP will not erroneously report the NIC as dead. Well worth implementing,
    IMO, especially for those running VCS/IPMultiNicB.

    Thanks again Ed!
