If this does what it seems to do, this is a baaaaad idea.

Normally, if you point a default route to an interface that does ARP,
it will send out (proxy-) ARP request for every single IP address that
you want to talk to - and it will only work if the router on the other
end will nicely do proxy ARP for you, answering ARP requests for
non-local IP addresses.

Which is something that was also a bad idea to implement as a default.
