I have read an article that says (using a cisco router) I can add two default routes, with different priorities. I am not sure how this will help me though, because if the primary link goes down, the data can not travel back because the primary link is down - we had this problem before when we were blackholed by a previous ISP's BGP routing tables). So my question is how can I cheaply achieve a redundant link? Cheers craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
