Isn't "route add 0.0.0.0 eth0" basically the same as "route add default
eth0" from my example? Because that's exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

A quick google search found e.g. this one:

where the guy does basically exactly the same thing and he is encouraged to
drop the "gw" part because it's not necessary.
