This is called luck, or possibly it would break for short periods and you
wouldn't catch it. I have seen many attempts at this that all worked great until
it didn't. The didn't was due to something forcing it to switch which was the
current active default gateway and I have seen things such as a router having
issues, viruses on the network causing router saturation, to whatever. In all
cases, it doesn't matter, you are misconfigured.

If you want, feel free to call MS Product Support and pay the money to hear the
same exact thing.
