But it would be nice!  I tried it for myself a month or two ago.

I thought routed would work it out and set the default route with the 
better metric.
But it takes the first default comming in.

Moreover you will get the following messages from routed: .....

write(rt_sock) RTM_CHANGE 0.0.0.0 <gateway ip> metric=15 flags=0x2: Too 
man< refeneces: can't splice

Maybe someone can expalin it to me?
