The Internet | | | | | | ---------- ---------- | router | | router | ---------- ---------- | | | | ---------------------------------------ethernet | | the inside are two default routes legal??? how would the kernel decide between them?? can i do two default routes with different metrics, one 0 and one, say 4??? jmb Jonathan M.
