well....you need to rethink your network configuration because Linux will
_always_ put a route to your default network in the IP routing table, why
shouldn't it? Your gateway would live on your default network.
According to your IP and Netmask in the configuration you sent, your network
would be 44.0.0.0 Is that correct? Are you on a class 'A' network? ( I
_thought_ only AT&T and some other giants had class 'A') So, I believe that
there is a mismatch between your IP and Netmask.
Also, the ifcfg-eth<n> file is a text configuration, not a 'script' per se,
therefore, it would not execute a command like 'route del -net .....'
