I know it's possible on a > winNT box - to have two differant gateways. If it's possible on a > winblows box, then it must be possible on a FreeBSD box, right? ;-) But what does it do then? Does it send every other packet to the other gateway or is it saving the second one in case the first one dies? Honestly, the problem of this guy (two firewalls) is a problem in the fact that his firewalls can't resume statefull sessions if one dies. Big deal, this has always been a problem. What he should do is make a firewall-pair which have one unique IP address (per server) and one shared IP address. They have to monitor each other and the standby one has to take over the moment the active one isn't working anymore. The shared IP address is the one which is his default gateway.
