Your default route SHOULD be a host route.
That is open to interpretation, I guess. I've used systems that were fussy about this point and did not add a correct route if it was not a network route. It may be system administration through old wives tales, but I haven't run into a system yet where specifying the net option for a default route would not work or break something. I have found systems in which the reverse was true.
BTW, here is the output of route add default on Solaris 2.6:
#route add default 10.10.10.10 10
add net default: gateway 10.10.10.10
(Hmmmmmmmm???)
To the IP address of the router.
You mean "_through_" the IP address of the router.
