On 2008.05, /etc/defaultrouter definitely permits one or more 
default routing entries to be configured.

   % man defaultrouter

is one such related document.  But, I believe this multi-entry
behavior has been the same since or before Solaris 8.

I think you meant /etc/gateways instead of /etc/gateway, which is
used to control behavior iof the RIP (/usr/sbin/in.routed) daemon.  
See if the gateways(4) and in.routed(1m) man pages clear things up
for you.
