I use dhclient. My /etc/dhclient.cong contains only:
send host-name "GIVENNAME";
supersede domain-name "lan.domainaddress.dom";
prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1;
Gateway seemes to be provided through DHCP.
But you may add it by (I think, but never tried):
option routers 192.33.137.250;
According to "man dhcp-optons"
option routers ip-address [, ip-address... ];
The routers option specifies a list of IP addresses for
routers on the client's subnet. Routers should be
listed in order of preference.
Cherrs :)
