You don't need a defaultroute for your own subnet.
For your case, and i asume your router routes between to different
subnet's, first route del default, then route add default gw router's-IP
In my case here at home I use my linux box to route all traffic from the
internet, but it doesn't have a defaultroute until pppd makes it, all
clients on my home net use the linux box as the default gateway. Actually
it's the same setup on valleynet, we (ouch!) use a serial connection to
another subnet for our i-net feed....pppd automatically adds the
defaultroute into the table when it makes the connection to the other box.
