The same thing. Usually it takes about two network commands before things start going awry. I tried on one boot to bring eth2 up with no default gateway, so it would be on standby, then give a route del default and a route add default gw <yada>. Same indications on the route command after that, 30+ seconds to get a response, no connection to the outside world. Tried swapping back by hand and got the same thing. Did not change until I rebooted. > networking grinds, I generally suspect a DNS problem or a firewall problem. > I would assume restarting networking would bounce your firewall as well. Are Yes. Bouncing the firewall rules as well. Identical rulesets except for the outside interface is eth2 vice eth0. > both interfaces static or dhcp?

The DNS servers are universally available ones, like 4.2.2.2, so they remain the same. And since we are using IP addresses to try to get out, I don't think it should be using DNS in the first place.
