Hello! Does the 3.x-STABLE support multihoming nicely ? (i.e. having two different network cards/interfaces connected to different networks/ISPs) How is the decision made by the kernel as to which interface to use for outgoing connections ? IIRC, in the old days people had to hack the system code to be able to have a multihomed host. Altimately, I am looking for a solution which would allow to have some kind of "backup" network connection that can work automatically when one of the networks is down, or connectivity to some particular outside network is bad. Any pointers and advices are appreciated. I appologize if this should've been sent to a different list (like questions) in that case, you can respond directly to me.
