I've done some tests on a different network where it all appears to work.

But running 'tcpdump -pen' shows that all the outbound packets for the
TCP connections are being sent to the default gateway.

5.10.30, 5.10.61 and 5.14.0-rc7 all behave the same way.

If do a ping (in either direction) I get an ARP table entry.
But TCP connections (in or out) always use the default gateway.

I'm now getting more confused.
I noticed that the 'default route' was missing the 'metric 100' bit.
That might give the behaviour I'm seeing if the netmask width is ignored.

But if I delete the default route (neither netstat -r or ip route show
it) then packets are still being sent to the deleted gateway.
If I delete the arp/neigh entry for the deleted default gateway an
outward connection recreates the entry - leaving the one for the actual
address 'STALE'.

Something very odd is going on.
