Strange I am running openwrt on a linksys wr54gs with 1 cable and 1 adsl. I= =20 load balance, (also have julian patches applied - its 2.4.30), when the rou= ting=20 notices the link is dead, so if i do a ip li. then it marks the routes as d= ead=20 and stops using them, once the interface is brought down the routes disappe= ar I haven;t followed the dgd threads, but I seem to remember it having some= =20 problem with upstream detection. You talked about getting OSPF routing for this, is this from the ISP's inbo= und=20 as well as outbound. Wouldn't OSPF handle link state as well ?
