Routes only work when you can reach the next hop. That is, if you try
to add a route through an interface that is not up, the command will
fail and the route will not be added. If you want a route to be added
when an interface comes up, there is already a place to do that.
However, as others have pointed out you shouldn't expect multiple
concurrent default routes to do something useful - but if you have
multiple interfaces you can configure them both to add default routes
and bring only one up at a time.
I wasn't thinking that far. I was just considering the fairly common
situation when you add a few static routes manually, to fix routing
problems, and you realize that's the configuration you want to keep. And
then it would be nice if the init.d script would just freeze the current
static routes for you.
