No takers first time....

Basically problem is if I perform
"/sbin/ifconfig tu0 down" it takes tu1 down as well!!

My thinking is that this happens because default route
device is tu0, but I can't change it thru "route
change default -olddev tu0 -dev tu1". (Argument
Invalid)
Route command says default route is usually set to
first device on boot.

Any ideas on solving this problem? I just need to be
able to disable tu0 without affecting tu1.

_Thanks once again in advance........
