[c-nsp] default route behavoir

[Scott Granados]

I forget if it's supported as well but you could use object tracking in the 
IP SLA features to track a far end device for whether it's reached or not 
and flop routes in the event one is not reached.  (in place of an IGP)  This 
works great for DSL backup, something similar should work here.
