If you were to use ip route syntax, I believe you could set a Metric so you
have a floating default route out the 192.168.6.0/24 network.
192.168.6.0/24 via 192.168.6.1 metric 10
There may be a way (though not mentioned in the docs below) to accomplish
the same thing using network/netmask syntax you used in your example.

Agreed, no need for a route file. Just pull the gateway line from the
ifcfg file for the internal network.
( I'm just posting the syntax/alternatives for anybody else's sake. )
