Sorry if this is obvious. My network: Router ---NortelFW--Lan1--router--router--Lan2--NortelFW--Router RIP is running on the both Firewalls and both internal routers. Both NortelFW are advertising their default route (out their connected external router). Users on both Lans are using their closest internal router as their default gateway. I had hoped that the internal routers would learn of both default routes and select the nearest Firewall as their default route. If anything happened to one of the local loops, I could switch off the connected firewall, which would end the rip advertisements, and the network would eventually reroute all external traffic out the working Internet link. I could've sworn that this was working in my test environment and for at least a week in production. Now both internal routers are selecting one default route or the other but not necessarily the best (hop count) route. Daaaaaa whats wrong with this approach? Firewalls aren't routers....??
