I have recently added a 2nd Internet source (for redundancy) and I want to know how to make FreeBSD choose a primary outbound internet source, and chose the other if the primary is down? Am I correct to assume that FreeBSD will automatically return incoming requests back through the interface that it arrived on? e.g. Internet request coming in on interface-A will return via interface-A and likewise for interface-B Thanks Tom _______________________________________________ freebsd-isp@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-isp To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-isp-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
