Routing table

Two questions on Windows 2000 server routing tables!

1] When a workstation connects from a remote subnet, a route is entered into the windows server's routing table, with a 32 bit mask, even it a static route to that subnet already exists - is this normal behavior?

2] When the route is added, what determines the gateway address? Is it learning something from the router the packets are arriving from?

Hope someone knows as I have a load balancing issue with one of ours servers only using one of two equal cost paths to another country and it's causing one link to saturate...
