LARTC - Jul 2004 - Failover connection question

As I understood you have two connections and one is not used until the
second comes down?
If yes try to add script to cron which chekcs if connection is up (ping
your''s provider router) and if it''s down simply it shoud up
the second
interface and add new default route :
ifconfig ......
route del default
route add default .......
Is it what you want ?

> What I''d like to do is have a second default gateway path that
never gets
taken unless the first one goes into the "dead" state.  I have
installed
Julian''s patch and it works great for loadballanced connections using
the
nexthop code, but I would like to setup the second default route to be the
failover only if the first one becomes unavailable.  Is this possible?  How
might I do this?

I''m still trying to figure out this problem, I appreciate any
suggestions...

What I''d like to do is have a second default gateway path that never
gets taken unless the first one goes into the "dead" state.  I have
installed Julian''s patch and it works great for loadballanced
connections using the nexthop code, but I would like to setup the second default
route to be the failover only if the first one becomes unavailable.  Is this
possible?  How might I do this?
