Dual Redundant Network routing [Question]

Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control

Greetings,

I have a routing problem I am hoping can be solved.

I have three networks.  A Private network, and a dual network the private
network connects too.  The internal network talks through a
gateway/router(linux redhat 7.2) that has a default route set that allows
the internal network to talk to a computer on the external networks.  The
external network is a Redundant network scheme in that if one of the
networks goes down, the gateway/router should automatically switch traffic
to the other network.  

I have several requirements.

1. The external dual network does not know anything about the internal
network.
2. The router has to be able to sense the network malfunction and auto
reroute the internal network to the secondary redundant network.

I have the internal network successfully talking to one of the dual networks
using this routing table:

Ip Address of Gateway and routing table of gateway (10.1.1.12)
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use
Iface
10.1.1.0       *                    255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0
eth4
10.8.0.0      10.8.0.137       255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 eth3
10.8.0.0      *                     255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0
eth3
10.9.0.0      10.9.0.137       255.255.0.0     UG    0      0        0 eth2
10.9.0.0      *                     255.255.0.0     U     0      0        0
eth2
127.0.0.0       *                  255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0
lo
default         10.1.1.12        0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0
eth4


3 network cards: 10.8.0.137, 10.9.0.137, 10.1.1.12 in the gateway/router.

10.1.1.X is the internal network.
10.8.0.X is the 1st external network
10.9.0.X is the 2nd external network.

How do I get the autorerouting to work?
