  Hi!

  Thank you for the script. I'm trying it.

  Well, I made a simple modification and would like to hear opnions.
  Until now, I just added one more TESTIP, so I'm pinging one IP for each link. 
  Also I'm using the IP instead name address, and used the DNS IP of each provider
for the ping. I made this because the ping to external sites (yahoo, google) is too slow
here, mainly when the link is under heavy load. So I'm afraid it can try ping 
without success and "think" the link is down.
  Also, for don't get falses 'link down', did you tried to increase the number of 4
ping fails before replace the route? What do you think about?

  I appreciate suggestions,


  PS: although alteration be so simple, if someone want to see, tell me and I send a mail.
