Re: [LARTC] Multiple Internet Links problem

Thanks for that. I have it working now.

Here is my much neater route table. My rules look scarey but I think thats
ok. Sorry Im still using a few tables :)

ip ro add 0.0.0.0/0 dev ppp0 proto static table main
ip ro add 0.0.0.0/0 dev eth0 proto static table eth0
ip ro add 0.0.0.0/0 via 202.2.2.17 dev eth1 proto static table eth1
ip ro add 0.0.0.0/0 via 202.3.3.129 dev eth2 proto static table eth2
ip ro add from 202.1.1.128/25 via 202.3.3.129 proto static table eth2


My question is tho, I have your route patch in my kernel, but if I do a
ifconfig eth1 down and then ifconfig eth1 up, stuff that was headed out
eth1 before the down/up now goes out the default route ppp0 until I re-add
the eth1 route. I believe that with your patch the routes should stay?

Thanks again
