Yes of course! But NOT the "answer" I am looking for(..and want to hear..) because -

1) having such default-routes "internally" is a terribly-bad/broken idea.

I am looking for a "candidate" who can actually say the same and go on to say: "it is a kludge that can be put in place to load-share between two links to upstreams when "budgetary-constraints" prevent us from anything but static-routing - two upstreams terminating on the same router.

There You go:

So, There are some questions (includes Your original-question) that HR should not be asking.

There is a big difference between Engineering-Management and Management-Engineering.....(Morton Thiokol/Challenger is a classic case in point.)
