Hi all

On my network there are two routers, ---.1 and ---.2.  I added both as
default gateways:

any add default gw ---.1           (obviously I'm keeping the
any add default gw ---.2            1st 3 octets secret :-)

so that the last couple of lines output by "route" are:re:

default fddi-prod-r2.zk 0.0.0.0  UG    0      0        0 eth0
default fddi-prod-r1.zk 0.0.0.0  UG    0      0        0 eth0

...in the hope that if one of these goes down, I'm still good...

Am I kidding myself?  What's the kewl way to achieve reliability?
