Forgive me if this is off-topic. How could I force a packet to go out through an interface, despite the default route? Suppose I have two interfaces connected to the internet: 1) rl0 (real.ip.no.1) ---> ISP x 2) rl1 (real.ip.no.2) ---> ISP y ISP y is just a backup link. ISP x is the working link. Don=B4t want to load-balance them. Use 2) ONLY if 1) is out. Suppose 1) is down. I switch to 2). But I have to keep testing 1) to see when it comes back up. How could I force a packet (ping maybe?) to www.whatever.com through 1), despite the default route being 2) ? I am aready binding the ping packet to the IP I want but that=B4s not enou= gh. any suggestions? thanks, -- //| //|| // | // || -//--//---|| ARIO LOBO // // || --------------------------------- mario.lobo@ipad.com.br http://www.ipad.com.br
