I got caught into this issue in real life scenario;

I had

1. eth0/0 connected to internet - ISP was providing eth0/0 ip using dhcp
2. and eth0/1 connected to local lan
3. LAN users wanted to get ip address dynamically from eth1 -

so I had to issue the command on the router

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0/0 dhcp

when I had just "ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 FastEthernet0", the router won't
assign any ip address from its dhcp pool to lan clients. the 'dhcp' keyword
after static route fixed it.

HTH.
Cheers
