OSPF by default would inject the default route as an "E2" route in the routing table, but "E2" routes never take into account the cummaltive costs to the route originator. The answer to this would be for OSPF to inject the defualt route as an "E1" route. That way, the default route that would be chosen would take the cummative costs into consideration. The configuration step would add the term "metric-type 1" to the initial default info originate command.
