I have done this kind of script on a Linux box. But I don't know how
write these scripts on a NetBSD server. For example, how can I ping a
server on WAN side through 192.168.15.19 gateway and with 192.168.15.20
default route ? Of course, I could add a special route to contact this
server, but is it possible without adding a sepcial route ?
