perhaps what you need to do is to delete the old gateway using a script like
so (it was customized for me and the bugs i used to get in my old dist, so it
is not state of the art but...):
TODEL=`/sbin/route -n|/bin/grep eth1|/bin/grep UG|/usr/bin/cut -c"17-32"`
/sbin/route -n |/bin/grep $TODEL 2>&1 >/dev/null
if [ $? = 0 ]; then
/sbin/route del -net 0.0.0.0 gw $TODEL netmask 0.0.0.0 dev eth1&
and then add the right gateway like so:
/sbin/route add default gw $NEWGW
