FoS (RedHat) works for the failover and that doesn't sound like what you're
doing.

It sounds like you need a routing protocol to determine which route works
and is preferred. There may be a way around this; I'd love to know ...

Subject: Failover between two default gateways


Any suggestions for failover between two default gateways?

I am setting up a LINUX server (kernel 2.4.9-21smp) and need it to be
able to failover from one default gateway to another on the same
subnet.

For example:
This server is 192.168.1.10.
The two valid gateways, 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.1.2.

I need failover so that if one gateway is down, the server will use the
other. The two gateways are Cisco routers, not LINUX servers.

The failover does not work when both routes are created with "route add
..." With metrics either equal or weighted, only the first route is
used.

I think I need to use iproute2 but I have not found an example of my
situation.

Any suggestions?
