[LARTC] Failover connection question

[LARTC] Failover connection question

[wishbone]

I'm still trying to figure out this problem, I appreciate any suggestions...

What I'd like to do is have a second default gateway path that never gets taken unless the first one goes into the "dead" state.  I have installed Julian's patch and it works great for loadballanced connections using the nexthop code, but I would like to setup the second default route to be the failover only if the first one becomes unavailable.  Is this possible?  How might I do this?

regards,
joshua

As I understood you have two connections and one is not used until the
second comes down?
If yes try to add script to cron which chekcs if connection is up (ping
your's provider router) and if it's down simply it shoud up the second
interface and add new default route :
ifconfig ......
route del default
route add default .......
Is it what you want ?
