Ok quick question

4 gateways broadcasting 0.0.0.0 as default routes

36 nodes choose their default best gateway route

1 gateway looses DSL, am i correct in assuming that babel should then stop
broadcasting it is a default 0.0.0.0 route as it has now lost internet
connectivity

or is it possible that even though it has a default route of 192.168.1.1
being the DSL modem, which had lost its connection, itll still try to
forward traffic through it
even if its considered a dead route, is there a "babel" method to test a
true live or dead gateway and stop/start broadcasting based on a true /
false gateway test
