Honestly, it would keep me happy :)

The linux system is a network management
appliance : it only has one default route
in its configuration, so all other subnets
rely on the redirects to keep traffic down.

So although that would solve the problem, it
could potentially mean a whole lot of duplicated
traffic, which is not something a network management
appliance is supposed to _create_ :)
