How would one configure Redhat6 to have two default gateways so that in the event that one of the gateways stopped working (still up just no traffic flowing) then send the packets out the other gateway. In win2k this is done with simply with Metrics on the default gateways. I am using ipchains and 3 network cards. 1 for the local net and 1 for each of the cable modems (one is really ADSL). I tried setting the metric using the route command and it didn't seem to do anything. Can this be handled automatically? Each gateway address is assigned by DHCP from the ISP when the NIC's interface is brought up? Would it help if the gateways were set statically (they don't change often)? Is iproute2, gated or zebra needed/useful to do this or can routed handle it? Any suggestions/comments are welcome.
