Yes, I believe that when the UX box receives an ICMP Redirect message,
the new gateway will be added so that later connections will start
life using the right gateway.  Generally speaking, the host will receive 
the redirect when it attempts to route packets thru a gateway that
thinks that a different gateway would be a better idea...
