Using "/etc/defaultrouter" or using "route -p add default" in order to
establish the original route?  Or perhaps some other mechanism?

If you used a simple "route add" at some point and then rebooted, that's
not permanent.

If it was there and then went away, then something must have removed it.
 If you're able to reproduce the problem, then running "route monitor"
and directing the output to a file will be helpful.  It should identify
the process that is removing the route, which will then help focus the
issue.

What about logs?
