Show us!

At very, very minimum show us your rc.conf and netstat -r before and
after hand changes.

And maybe the FreeBSD version?

Please do keep in mind that your telling us "I checked rc.conf for typos
and there aren't any, but could you folks who aren't allowed to see
rc.conf tell me what's wrong with it" seems to be playing somewhat
unfair.  :-)

You're not mixing getting address from DHCP with setting a static
default route are you?   Probably not, but that's the kind of guessing
that I do when I can't see what you've done.
