Hello,

We have the following configuration :


	       |
	       | Internet connection
	       |
	       |
	       | NIC
    ------------------------
    | Router and firewall  |
    | (FreeBSD box)	   |
    ------------------------
	| NIC	| NIC	| NIC
	|	|	|
	|	|	|
    ------------------------
    |        Switch	   |
    ------------------------
	|   |	|   |	|
	|   |	|   |	|
	|   |	|   |	|
     Several FreeBSD servers


Everything works ok but the drawback is that if the FreeBSD router has
for instance a hardware problem, all the servers become unreachable.

So, is there a way to have two redundant routers to avoid this
drawback ? Or there is no solution except to have one spare freebsd
box already configured and ready to replace the main router ?

Thank you.
Stephane Legrand.
