We ran into the same problem when we came up on 7.4. We also have a
dumb gateway that can not advertise itself and had been using the
p4200 to advertise the route.  The quick solution was to put the static
route in the p4200 anyway and have the p4200 as the default route. The
other hosts did not know the route to the dumb gw, so they sent it to
the default.  The p4200 as the default did know about the dumb gw because
of the static route and would send it on its way. Not a clean solution,
but it worked.

When we get time we will make the change to allow a gated host to advertise
the dumb gw.
