when using net/quagga it is possible to have two default routes with
different metrics.  Traffic will follow only one of them.  The way
it's implemented is, quagga keeps a copy of the routing table in
user-space.  The route with the lowest metric, and only that route, is
installed by quagga into the kernel.  Only the lowest-metric route is
visible in 'netstat -r', while the routes with higher metrics are
visible only within quagga's user interface.  so, I don't know what
would be the meaning of a metric field on a route passed to route(8)
or into an rtsock.
