I tried a name too. i.e
gateway "someHostName", but it complains saying invalid syntax.
I think I will use the alternative way.
Thanks for the help !

gateway host
True if the packet used host as a gateway. I.e., the ethernet source
or destination address was host but neither the IP source nor the IP
destination was host. Host must be a name and must be found both by the
machine's host-name-to-IP-address resolution mechanisms (host name file,
DNS, NIS, etc.) and by the machine's host-name-to-Ethernet-address
resolution mechanism (/etc/ethers, etc.). (An equivalent _expression_ is
ether host ehost and not host host
which can be used with either names or numbers for host / ehost.) This
syntax does not work in IPv6-enabled configuration at this moment.

I think the devil is in the fact that 'host' in 'gateway host' needs to be
a name.
Good luck,
