I have always seen entries more like this (using your IPs)

Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
0.0.0.0         65.10.71.129    0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

65.10.71.0      0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0

Mine, on an internal network, looks like this
$ netstat -rn
