I have found that for some reason our default gatewa entry in our routing
table  is deleted for no apparent reason .The routing information  is
reinserted by the following command:
route add default xxx.yyy.kkk.jjj
After booting the system I  use the netstat -nr command to check, and the
entery is there, see below:

Destination     Gateway   ....
default       xxx.yyy.kkk.jjj..
.....
Sometimes the default entry is deleted for some unknown reason.
I want to knwo the reason and how to avoid it.
