I think Pasi's on to something there, I bet the GATEWAY command in ifcfg-eth0 is mistyped or has a syntax error. In the interem, however, a better hack might be to move the route statement from rc.local, which only runs at boot, to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 . That will enable the network service to restart or the eth0 interface to downup without removing the default route.

I have never noticed/seen GATEWAY getting ignored..
Maybe your netmask is wrong, so the GATEWAY IP is unreachable?
