I have a nat'd box which obviously has an internal and external ip address.=
 The box has a third interface which is configured to a DSL connection. My =
goal is for that interface to be activated if the external side fails so th=
at outbound traffic still flows. Any of you know of a way to accomplish thi=
s regardless of the type of failure.

I looked into CARP but I am not convinced that this would do what I need it=
 to.
