I think your original question was "how can i fail over to routing to the alternate link if the primary goes down?". This is possible and, in fact, trivial -- but it's only solving 50% of your problem, as you still don't have control of how traffic is routed _to_ you. For that, as mentioned at length in previous posts, you need to do something that affects global routing; either BGP or something that gets redistributed into BGP eventually. ~Dan D. -- __________________________________________________________________ -- I feel the earth move. -- I feel the tumbling down, the tumbling down. ++ Dan Debertin ++ Senior Systems Administrator ++ Bitstream Underground, LLC ++ airboss@bitstream.net ++ (612)321-9290 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
