You can have two default routes, with the linux Policy routing - ship;s stock w/ almost all distro's, and works pretty damn effectivly. http://lartc.org/howto/ http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html You will have to use policy routing, and it is not a simple matter of setting static routes. I have the Multiple Provider example because I have two DSAL providers, and I have policy routing enabled to allow connections from either, and the connections [of course] must remain on the circuit/ip that the connection arrives on. -- VB programmers ask why no one takes them seriously, it's somewhat akin to a McDonalds manager asking employees why they don't take their 'career' seriously.
