Well, I'm not sure how to explain it but that's certainly NOT what happens. My local traffic stays local and anything that isn't on the local net goes across the gateway. My understanding of a default gateway is one that is used when a local route is not available. Do I have it wrong? I'm sure someone here can explain it better.
