that's all.

That's only for static IPs, and is manual. Debian-based distros have
/etc/network/interfaces , a text file describing how various NICs should
be set up. Gentoo has /etc/conf.d/net , which is similar.
Redhat-derived distros have /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* , one
file per interface. All of the info is stored in text files, and you
can easily find where the info is on an unfamiliar distro by doing "grep
-r eth0 /etc/* " and sorting results by eyeball.

I'd simply like to know how to delete a default route obtained via
DHCP at every boot. Three NIC's. One static IP and two dynamic IPs.
The two dynamics flip flop at being the default gateway, causing all
sorts of havoc with FTP and SSH)

"man dhcpcd", paying particular attention to the -G option. Make sure
that you do "dhcpcd eth0" and "dhcpcd -G eth1", f'rexample. You'll have
to edit your config files to make this happen. I can't give you precise
instructions because you didn't mention which distro you're using.
