Okay, the thing to do is to figure out what this person is doing to check if
the links are up. Once you know this, you put that knowledge into a script
that checks if the link is up and run that script from cron. Depending on
the status of the uplinks you then let the script select one of the possible
static routings and enable it. (Rebuilding routing tables barely hurts
reliability, *especially* if you do not flush the route cache).
Hope this helps.
Doei, Arthur. (The tricky part is the link-state monitoring... at the TCP/IP
level this is theoretically impossible...)
