Re: providing default route

[Chad M Stewart <cms@balius.com>]

I should have thought to do 'man interfaces' before today.  :)  I'm not 
used to doing 'man <name of file>', rather 'man <command>'.

Suggestion -- the default interfaces file should have something like 
what is shown below already there, only commented out and something 
telling people to 'man interfaces' for even more help.

Thank you to Greg and Marc.
