However, from router2, babel is not creating a default route for me.
Here is router1's table:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.10.0.1       10.38.8.4       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0.1
192.168.1.10    10.38.8.4       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0.1
10.38.8.4       10.38.8.4       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0.1
10.38.8.0       *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0.1
10.11.0.0       *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br-lan

router2's table looks like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
10.11.0.1       10.38.8.1       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0.1
10.38.8.1       10.38.8.1       255.255.255.255 UGH   0      0        0 eth0.1
10.38.8.0       *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0.1
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0.2
10.10.0.0       *               255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0 br-lan
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    10     0        0 eth0.2
default         *               0.0.0.0         U     65534  0        0 lo


I can ping 192.168.1.10 (router2's far side interface).  But no
default route is created on router1, and I can not create one by hand
either:

router1# ping 192.168.1.10
PING 192.168.1.10 (192.168.1.10): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.1.10: seq=0 ttl=64 time=3.701 ms

router1# route add default gw 192.168.1.10
route: SIOCADDRT: Network is unreachable

I can, however, create one by hand to 10.38.8.4 and this does make things work.

I have a bunch of other possibly related questions:

When router2's internet connection goes away, I would expect router2
to withdraw the route to 192.168.1.10 but it doesn't.

router2 is in fact redistributing a host route to itself (a route to a
single host).  Why isn't router2 distributing a route to
192.168.1.0/24?  In fact, router2 is also distributing a route to
itself on the network that it's on (route to 10.38.8.4 via 10.38.8.4
on the 10.38.8.0/24 net), hence it's not very useful (not harmful
either).  Perhaps I need some filter to only distribute routes with
plen ge 1?

I admit that I do not understand the babel.conf file very well.
