If so, its useless to have BGP or anything... The reason why we want a second connection is because we had some downtime because a failed switch at the isp so the second connection will be a connection to a second switch i also saw http://bird.network.cz/ and http://www.mrtd.net/ so why do i choose bird, mrtd, zebra of gated (or something else?) we have multiple boxes colo'd behind one linux router (which works great) so i'm looking at a deamon or kernel patch for using bgp4 and still being able to use ipchains (and later ipfilter) for firewall/accounting rules - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
