All,
Well, kind of embarrassing - the problem turned out to be humanoid error
carried forward.
Having exhausted all the usual 'routed' 'gated' and RIP avenues that you all
(see credits below) suggested, I wrote a script to monitor exactly when this
default route was lost.
It was at 5:00am exactly when I stopped seeing a default. This was a bit
*too* exact, so I looked in the crontab to see what happened at 5:00am and
sure enough, a script written by an ex-colleague that runs the ntpdate for
us. There was a line at the top (for some reason) doing 'route add default
x.x.x.x'. This was fine until the machine moved subnets and thereafter
caused the problem.
Thanks for all the replies, credit to the dudes below ...
