While working with Cisco routers and Linux servers I have never run intothe problem of wondering why Linux doesn't take two default routes and still work. You can't have two, it's not possible. It's like driving down the freeway, except you want to take two exits at once, it's just not going to happen.
Actually - you can have two - its just that some people believe that they will be able to do intelligent load balancing this way.
For this type of scenario, I can only recommend proper routing protocols, ospf or using metrics - and only having failover support...
