Persistant Routes

Hi,

On a windows machines, why would there be persistant routes which point to the machines default gateway?

I would have thought if the destination address is not on the local subnet it would be sent to the DG anyways? So why would a machine have persistant routes which point to the DG?

    that's all the DFGW is.

    Basically its a route that says anything you don't know something more specific about send to this next hop.
    so on all device there is a route that says "send any not on your subnet that you don't have a better route to..... "

    you have to supply the DFGW address and it fills in the blank for this route. but there is nothing special about the dfgw, it is a route like any other
