I suggest using the postup() and predown() facilities instead:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=4&chap=5
In postup(), create the default route e.g. ip route add default via $DG_IP
dev $IFACE metric $METRIC
In predown(), delete the default route. Same command, but 'delete' instead
of 'add'.
Note: metric comes into play only when eth0 and wlan0 are up simultaneously;
the lowest metric wins.

Well, the default gateway on eth0 and wlan0 has the same IP. I'm not sure
iproute2 can stomach that.
