This box is connected directly to one of the ISP's but also has access to the other gatways via the LAN. I would like to setup static backup (default) routes such that when and if the main link goes down, the default route for this box is automatically changed to point to another router on the LAN.I am having trouble implementing this on freebsd. Any ideas? Ezra Banoba Systems Administrator/Programmer Computer Froniters International Plot 32 Lumumba Avenue www.cfi.co.ug +256 031260485
