You'll probably have to use a script with variables for all the IP
addresses, and have that script be called by whatever software manages
the dynamic IP address configuration.
Most distributions have a mechanism for doing "custom" things after
an interface comes up. For example, Red Hat and it's derivatives will
call /sbin/ifup-local and /sbin/ifdown-local if they exist.

Like Ben said, you will need to run a script to manage your dynamic IPs.
One thing to keep in mind is that you will need to run a script that
is aware of each interface's IP address so that it can manage the
multipath nexthop route(s). Thus you can not have a generic script that
is called for each interface in such a way that it is unaware of the
state of the other interfaces.

Thanks ben & Grant,
i am not so much expert in linux and don't have a proper knowledge of script writing, i am showing my problem again in detail below.
i am using 4 adsl lines of an same isp, my adsl modem is working as a nat router so i can get static private ip on my linux multigateway router, all is working fine
but my adsl router's wan port hang sometime in 4 to 5 days, and my linux router don't find that one line is down bcoz gateway is still up (i.e. adsl modem's lan port is working). i have try many different modem of different make but problem is same and when i use adsl modem as a bridge, there is no problem in modem, so i have desided to
change my adsl modem in bridge mode, but my isp only provide dynamic ip and also getting many problem which i am showing you below with my rules which is working fine

so plz help me out that how can i make a script, and i don't want to run any script manuly bcoz ip does change in every few hours
sorry for my poor english
thanks in advance.

I will say that based on what I know and have experienced, you are
biting off more than you realize. First there is the fact that with
your modems in bridging mode you will have multiple IPs from the same
provider, probably all on the same subnet and thus all having the same
upstream gateway, which Linux can not (directly) use like you are
wanting to. If your modems are not bridging but rather routing Linux
will indeed not detect that the modem acting as a router has a defunct
out bound connection because it can communicate with the router its self.
Based on my experience, I think you will be better off having some
system handle the routing for each modem. I don't care if you have the
modems act as a router, or bridge them and put a router behind them, or
bridge them and do some VERY fancy stuff with Linux. How ever you do
it, I'd suggest that you use a router that is capable of informing the
other router(s), say your Linux box, when it's ADSL connection is down
and as such to not use said router. Usually this is done with routing
protocols.
With these multiple (physical or virtual) routers Linux will see
different IP addresses for them and as such be able to use them as
'nexthop' gateways thus be able to use them for load balancing / equal
cost multi-path routing. Even if all the modems and your Linux box
share one common small subnet, the fact that the routers have different
IPs make them something that Linux can work with.
(Granted you could do some dastardly things with bridging and the likes
so that Linux thinks that it really does have multiple routers one one
subnet when it really does not, but I think that is more than a bit
beyond what you are asking. For now avoid doing this.)
The reason that Linux is trying to use the modems (acting as a router)
is because it is not aware that the modem (acting as a router) has a bad
connection. Linux's "Dead Gateway Detection" algorithms detect when
they can not reach the immediate upstream gateway on the MAC layer (2).
Thus if Linux can talk to the modem (acting as a router) at all, say
ping it, ARP it, what ever to it, Linux believes the router (a.k.a.
gateway) is very much a live and thus available for use.
(Granted you may be able to do something with ICMP redirects to
encourage the Linux box to use a different router, but this is so far
out of the norm I will not even speculate on the viability. For now
avoid doing this.)

Does this at least help you know what you are up against?
