Check out the route(8) man page. route add default gw [default gateway1] eth0 route add default gw [default gateway2] eth1 If you don't have two separate routers for each NIC, I think you can specify as the default gateway the address of the card itself also. So if eth0 is 10.10.1.10 and eth1 is 10.10.1.11 you could do route add default gw 10.10.1.10 eth0 route add default gw 10.10.1.11 eth1 I haven't had to do that before so I do'nt know if that will work . According to the route(8) man page it says this about adding the eth IP as the gw itself "If you specify the address of one of your local interfaces, it will be used to decide about the interface to which the packets should be routed to. This is a BSDism compatibility hack." I didn't quite understand what that meant . Anyway, give that a shot.
