That sounds close to what I need !!

So would it be something like:
route add -host ${ip.of.public.host} netmask 255.255.255.255 gateway ${ip.=
of.rl0}
is that correct?
In this case that host will be "sacrificed", if rl0 is down.
Do you have any suggestions on time or whois servers? Don't worry
because the pings I send are standard 56 bytes long.
Thanks John !
P.S. - I'm replying to your post from my home e-mail. I made the post from=
my work e-mail.
