I have a number of networks that feature two freebsd boxes connected to each other via Ethernet ports and a reversing cable. Only static routing is used. ================================Internet | | ^ default route [fbsd1] | v inside network route | ================================Internediate Ethernet (/30) | | ^ default route [fbsd2] | v inside network route | ================================Inside Network When a power failure occurs, sometimes fbsd1 powers up before fbsd2 and in so doing establishes its static route for the inside network before it can see the fbsd2 interface. Doing the best job it can, it selects the default route back to the Internet. Not good enough. Unfortunately, the -interface flag to the route command doesn't help as the inside network is not directly connected to the fbsd1 box. Yes, even routed would solve the problem and yes, I could put a time delay in fbsd1 to wait until fbsd2 comes up. It just seems like there should be a simple solution that I am missing. Is there an easy way to do this?
