yes, entirely possible, in fact, practiced quite often. those kinds of
static routes are called 'floating statics'
the syntax of the static route statement is
ip route i.i.i.i s.s.s.s n.n.n.n ad
where
i.i.i.i is the IP network you wish to connect to
s.s.s.s is the subnet mask of that network
n.n.n.n is the address that you want the route to point to, or the interface
that you want to use
ad is the administrative distance.
for example,
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0 220
would create a floating default route out serial 0 with an administrative
distance of 220. Thus, it would only take effect if your routing protocol
that advertised 0.0.0.0 lost its route.
