The IP address is that of my ISP's next hop. It's reachable on a 
completely different interface. I mentioned it in passing to show that I 
had a default route already, and that I was adding a second default 
route with a higher administrative distance, pointing to an interface on 
the other side of the Etherchannel instead of my ISP's next hop.

As I said earlier, 10.10.10.3 is the address of the second HSRP 
interface (VLAN 999 as per my previous email), on the other side of the 
switch stack. It is reachable - I can ping and traceroute to and from 
10.10.10.3 without issue, and VLAN999 is shown as being directly 
connected in the output of "show ip route" on both stacks. I'd _expect_ 
it to be reachable because it's directly connected; I have an interface 
in VLAN999 on stack 1, likewise on stack 2, and an Etherchannel between 
them, configured as a dot1q trunk (with VLAN999 allowed across it).
