While I'm inclined to agree, the question I'm still trying to answer 
is, why did work fine on some systems and not on others.  
Additionally, why was it sporadic, and why did it eventually work?
I.e., if a system were in the state where it was not responding to 
pings, after about 20-30 seconds, it would start answering them.

Is this because the kernel would eventually mark the non-existant 
gateway as down, then start sending packets out the other interface 
as an alternate route?

(Btw, I refuse to admit that you were right ;)

   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
