gateway of last resort

[derf238]

Router in home office w/ three interfaces. S0 is point-to-point t1 to stub network. I will set a static route between these two.
“Ip route <stub network> <int S0 ip address>”
Home office local LAN on E1. E0 goes direct to PIX and out to internet.
If I set up a gateway of last resort “ip route 0 0 <int E0 ip address>” will the packets intended for the stub network attempt the wrong gateway? If so, what is the correct config?

If you have set a route for the stub network then packets destined for that network will go out of S0. The default route is only used when there is no specific route set.
