You think that not having a default gateway on a secondary interface is
a configuration problem? LOL! Forget that I ever posted in reply to
you, cause you obviously don't have much network experience.

You blatantly /ignore/ that I've shown that the order *is* wrong (which
it will be, since there's no way to specify separate orders for stop and
start)?

That a drunk can walk from one end of a pier to another doesn't prove
that it's safe to do so. I've *shown* what is wrong.

Don't bother replying, cause I won't be reading any further posts from
you. You gave me a good laugh by claiming that not having a default
route on an interface is a configuraion problem, though! :-)

This is your problem, and it's because of poor configuration.

This is a false assumption. The rc scripts don't remove routes when
bringing down an interface (since there's no need to).

The order is not wrong, according to your configuration:
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
This means that if eth1 is up, net is up.

That a drunk can fall off the end of a pier doesn't prove it isn't safe
to walk.

That a drunk can't use a hammer doesn't prove it's broken.

> I've *shown* what is wrong.


No, you've shown error messages - you have *no idea* what's wrong (and
make no attempt to fix it).
