Subject: Load balancing with failover

Hi all,

i have network setup with 3 gateways and a large number of intranet nodes,

i want to do automatic load balancing with failover,

i have put following ip rules and routes,

 

        ip rule add prio 222 table 222
        ip route add default table 222 proto static \
                nexthop via $GWE1 dev $IFE1 \
                nexthop via $GWE2 dev $IFE2 \

                nexthop via $GWE2 dev $IFE3 \

Now, i also want to do failover,

but the point is that what shall i need to do about deleting the route cache as soon as some gateway becomes dead or unavailable,

what the system will do on its own and what we need to do for this,

i need a help,

please guide me,

thanx in advance,

Regards,
