This patch is needed, I have a situation where we have 2 internet providers, one is a static ip set in rc.conf, the other provider forces the use of DHCP, but trying to use the "DHCP" connection only for a "Backup" caused the problem of the primary gateway being overwritten on fib0 (the static) I tried to solve it by the following in /etc/rc.local: /usr/sbin/setfib 1 /sbin/dhclient re2 setfib 0 route delete default setfib 1 route delete default setfib 1 route add default 99.55.240.1 setfib 0 route add default 75.133.75.193 this sorta works, but in practice after several hours (not sure why) all of the traffic on the machine tries to use the gateway of FIB1. this problem ONLY shows up when the use of DHCP is in the mix. So my question is twofold, is my situation what this patch is supposed to fix? or did I simply find a bug in the interface code? that will sort of eludes to Thank you for your work -- Sam Fourman Jr. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
