If in doublt, I always do a test to verify. If both interfaces are up, you will
see two entries in routing table, this mean that it can do load balancing ( pe
r-destination, per-packet). If you shutodwn one interface, only one deault rout
e entry.

Subject: Two Default Routes which path?
If I have say a 25xx router or any router with two serial interfaces, and I
put a default route say
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial 1
What will happen to the packets if there is no route in the table? Will
they all go down the first default route? Will the packets alternate based
on sessions?
Amazing how many smart people with lots of experience I have asked that do
not know the answer to this question including myself!
Thanks,
David
