If I'm understanding you correctly, you have a server on the same Ethernet
segment as two routers, and you want to know which one should be set as the
default gateway for the server.
Easy-Answer:
The default gateway should be set to the router that services the maximum
number of destinations in the minimum number of hops. I.e., If RouterA
services a 30 location frame network, and RouterB only services a single t1,
you would use RouterA as the Default gateway. Why? Because you would have
the least number of hops for a maximum number of sites.
Slightly-More-Difficult-but-better-answer:
Both! Run HSRP on both routers, which will create a single virtual router
that is maintained even if one of the routers fails. Your server will
maintain connectivity to available sites even if one of the routers fails.
Good luck, search Cisco.com for HSRP
