Ok, if I were good at drawing network diagrams in ASCII, I would draw a diagram. But I'm not, so I won't. :-) The network has two FreeBSD routers on it and both can get to the outside world. Is there any way I can get the same functionality of cisco's hot standby routing protocol without running passive ospf on the hosts? BTW, you can read about HSRP at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/data/doc/cintrnet/ics/icshsrp.htm Brad, Yes, certainly. HSRP was invented to deal with the problem of Really Stupid Hosts that didn't support router discovery. Since you have the good taste to run FreeBSD ;-), you could simply use router discovery instead. Tony
