Hi


I am running a Firewall / router / wireless freeBSD
5.2.1 pII 300.

i.e it supplies net access for my LAN..


It has a wireless connection for internet that
sometimes goes down and i wanted to get a backup
internet connection for it - either DSL or ISDN.


How can i enable it to use 2 different net
connections? - and prioritize between the wireless
first then if not available - the DSL.

Is BGP the answer? and if so how?



Thanks in advance to the helpfull freeBSD community :)

Regards

Chris Ryan
