hi, I am trying to maintain a connection to the internet through my modem and a connection through network. I route most my traffic through the modem and only select traffice through the fast connection.. handy for controlling users that want full access to the net :) i run from my ppp startup a script that adds in this as my gateway default proto static nexthop via 260.74.283.1 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 5.4.48.10 dev ppp0 weight 11 it works fine but when the connection drops it puts the ppp0 gw as a deadlink and when it redials it still sees it as a dead link the only way i can make it work again is to reboot.. how can i flush this dead link ? When ppp0 drops default proto static nexthop via 250.74.283.1 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 5.4.48.10 dev if40 weight 11 dead When it redials again default proto static nexthop via 260.74.283.1 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 5.4.48.10 dev if40 weight 11 dead -regards mok2
