Other than patching the kernel to change the behaviour to be more router
like though, about the best you can do is have a cron job or daemon
check the link state, and delete the route if the link goes down, and
add it back when the link returns. I consider that ugly and fragile
though.
How to do this script? How to test if one device is down?
'ethtool' or 'ip link' should be able to tell you if a link is up or down.
A clever tool would subscribe to netlink and get notifications of link
state changes, but that probably isn't necesary.
