Network description (simplest form) Two internet gateways GW1: 192.168.30.1/24, DHCP Range 192.168.30.10 ... 192.168.30.39 GW2: 192.168.30.2/24, DHCP Range 192.168.30.40... 192.168.30.70
Both GWs are connected to internet, and are running DNSMasq Client: does a DHCP Request, happens to get 192.168.30.56 , so from GW2 Failure scenarios - GW2 goes down fully - Upstream internet link to GW2 is severed Can BIRD be used to deal with this, i.e. for example have a script / bird ping some known Internet DNS servers, like Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and force the client to switch over to GW1 to get a valid internet connection again as fast as possible? For simplicity, I'm looking at RIPv2 - network is small enough, or should I use OSPF? I'm looking for some suggestions/recommendations... Maurice
