===Default gateway in different subnet===
This may be necessary under odd circumstances. Assuming the following:

Host IP: 192.168.66.99/24
Default gateway: 10.6.9.254/24

Here're the routes you need:

%%(text;redhat)
route add -net 10.6.9.0/24 dev eth0
route add default gw 10.6.9.254
%%

%%(text;freebsd)
route add -net 10.6.9.0/24 -iface bge0
route add default 10.6.9.254
# rc.conf
ifconfig_bge0="inet 192.168.66.99 netmask 255.255.255.0"
static_routes="net1 net2"
route_net1="-net 10.6.9.254/24 -iface bge0"
route_net2="default 10.6.9.254"
