No, if your primary external interface is DHCP (client), you should use the /mnt/kd/wan-failover.script . If the DHCP (client) address changes the interface is flushed, which destroys any associated routes, but in that case wan-failover is automatically restarted to load the new IP and gateway address. Since this is wan-failover related, I would use /mnt/kd/wan-failover.script . Lonnie > On Jul 24, 2018, at 12:35 AM, Michael Knill > <michael.kn...@ipcsolutions.com.au> wrote: > > Cool thanks Lonnie.
