Many thanks to all who have responded:

Henry Yiin
Imre Kolos
Casper Dik
Rahul Roy
Bruce R. Zimmer
Prashand Ranade
Nadkishor Kale

All pointed out

1. to remove /etc/defaultrouter
2. this will enable the Ultra 5 to act as a router
5. to declare in an (extra) script or in S72inetsvc the default route
    route add default 149.243.224.1 1

That's it.

Again, many thanks!
