Hi, I would like to set up access to Internet via two providers. When they both works OK I use ip route add default scope global nexthop via x.x.x.x dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via y.y.y.y.y dev eth1 weight 1 Next, I use script that regularly pings their upper providers for see if some of providers are down. If one is down I want to guide all communications via other interface. If second one is down - ip route del default ip route add default via x.x.x.x It works OK but at that moment I can't ping any nonlocal address thru eth1 so I can't check when provider come up. ping z.z.z.z -I eth1 - gives nothing Tcpdump shows that eth1 broadcast arp request for nonlocal address ?!? Tables for both interfaces are setup correctly and it seems that ping checks only main table. At same time when haven't default route via provider and that provider is up, all communication initialized by peers on Internet going on nondefault interface, even pings, works OK. When the default routes manually sets back to go thru both ones it comes back to normal . One more strange thing is that my script works OK for over one year until I have to change netmask and default gw for one provider.
