Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1376924

Description of problem:
provisioning a client with 2 nics will have to default gateways.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Foreman 1.11+

How reproducible:

Create 2 subnets and specify the gateway for etch one then create a client and add 2 networks to point to these 2 subnets. After you kickstart the client the client will have 2 default gateways. when we create a new host we need to have an option to specify the default gateway instead to remove the gateway from the subnets.

The issue is not the fact we have multiple gateways but that we don't have control over which default gateway wins. I didn't find a way to specify custom metric in dhcpd and it probably make sense to define only one default gateway based on which interface is primary. Therefore we can adjust the configuring template so it defines DEFROUTE accordingly. I don't know how this works on deb based systems, but so far no one reported issues there.
