John, Two things I can think of:
1. The cable provider is probably providing you with a default gateway *anyways* in your DHCP request. Likely, you don't need that static route after all. 2. As far as I can tell, your route wouldn't work in any event. Routing out via a physical interface works fine in serial point-to-point situations when the other next-hop router is going to receive the packet anyway... but routing out via an Ethernet interface will likely just *drop* the packet onto that broadcast domain (subnet) without pointing it to a specific next hop. Keep in mind that Ethernet is a broadcast-based multi-access medium. By routing to the physical Ethernet interface, you're basically dropping the packet on the wire, not shoving it directly to the next-hop router. Hope this helps!
