Not in my experience... and thats the way my network here is setup.

Our Windows machines learn the routes to networks when they try to reach the hosts as the routers send back redirects... and I'm pretty sure our Linux boxes get the same info, infact a quick test:

nephthys:~# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0       0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.12      0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

nephthys:~# traceroute bes
