Well, I think I have the redundancy down... In a kludgy way. Right now I have two default routes. route add default gw 24.141.xxx.1 route add default gw 64.229.xxx.1 I can write a script that if one of connections goes down for x number of pings, then remove the route. Now for the load balancing. Can you point me to documentation on iproute? Other then the Advanced Routing HOWTO, unless I am missing something in it.
