No you can't set default routes in vserver
what you need is somewhat more advanced routing in the real server.
say that you have eth0 which is the default interface for which you have a
default gateway configured and now you want a vserver to use eth1 instead,
then maybe somethine like this can help.
ip rule add from <ipthevserverisusing> table 200
ip route add <network on that interface> dev eth1 table 200
ip route add default via <default gateway for this interface> dev eth1 table 200
replace <ipthevserverisusing> with the ipaddress the vserver is using.
<network on that interface> is something like 192.168.1.0/24
<default gateway for this interface> is maybe 192.168.1.1 ? replace with
actual default gateway.
if you have several vserver that should use eth1 but diffrent ipaddresses
and those addresses are located in the same subnet you can add more
'ip rule' rows, one for each ip.
and if you have vserver that use an ipaddress on eth1 that's part of
another subnet you have to add all these 3 rules but change the table
number from 200 to something diffrent, say 201.
I hope this helps.
