The question is how would the router know the host is down without some sort of heartbeat.
My next question, and this shows my shallow knowledge of PBR, but can the next-hop be a non-local address? For instance, can router 1 which is connected to subnets A and B use a host on subnet C as a next-hop, despite the fact that router 1 has to go through router 2 to get to subnet C? If it can, would this create a tunnel, so that traffic would get to the next-hop address, or would Router 2 receive the packets and try to route them itself?
