I have one default route. How would I do the following: 1. Respond to all packets coming from NIC #1 through NIC #1 and respond to all packages coming from NIC #2 through NIC #2. Because I have a default route, all packages return through only one NIC. 2. If NIC #1 goes down and the default route is set to NIC #1, no packets can go through on NIC #2 (only for that subnet). Is it possible to add a second default route so when the network on NIC #1 goes down packets are sent through NIC #2 (this disturbs connections already on NIC #1 but that's OK). -- albert chin (china@thewrittenword.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
