No, not really. 10 high speed hops, versus 1 over 56K modem. Hmm?
You can certainly have more than one default route. If you have one
with a higher cost, it won't be used if the lower cost route is available.
Well, maybe. There's more the one variable to that decision.
Why would metrics not be used for routing in the kernel? That would
