Subject: [LARTC] question re: dead gateway detection
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2002 09:45:10 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-lartc-101722239517873@msgid-missing> (raw)

Hi,

I've followed the instructions in the nano document, and apart from my own 
ISP trouble, it seems to work fine.  I have a question about the dgd 
however.

The dgd works on the actual gateway, but in my experience it seems that 
most problems can be expected a few hops down the route, not on the 
gateway.  One of those two gateways is located here anyway, so if that 
goes down then chances are other stuff is wrong as well ;)

So my question is: is there some way that I can detect that the actual 
route to the net is unusable, even though the gateway is up ? If not, when 
either one of the lines is down, users will notice they're not getting a 
connection randomly, depending on what gateway is used for that 
connection.

Thomas
