    I don't have a solution to your problem (I can't figure out what exactly
    your problem is (-: ).

    I would just like to point out that you are comparing a "route" with a
    "route -n"

    Think of the word "default" as a hostname that resolves to 0.0.0.0. The
    zeros in a net route refer to wildcards, so 0.0.0.0 would be *.*.*.*. To
    compare routing tables type use the -n command to display your routing
    table on your solaris box and then compare the two outputs.
