Actually, no, not the default route. If the default

- it needs to point to your local upstream Internet router.
Some sites will have to route packets which have both (1) source address
within their 44.x.y/z subnet and (2) destination address outside 44/8,
to amprgw, since their local upstream Internet provider drops outgoing
packets which have a source address within 44/8.
That's quite different from both the default route, or routing packets
having destination address within 44/8.
All depends on how you've setup your network, it could be plain dumb
default route, or it could be a default route within a VRF, or a default
route combined with source based routing... This thread however is not
about if, when and how much that route is a default route.
I think that in this case not the technical term "default route" was
intended but rather the description the default route for that kind of
traffic passing through that gateway...
