I have two links to the net. A primary link which is quite reliable and a secondary link that is a stand-by.
What's the best way of making the secondary take over? There's no need to routing protocols because we don't have routing protocols running, but I'd be happy to install something like Zebra if it can be configured to ping hosts on one link and switch to the other link if they stop responding. I could write a shell script to do some pings, but there's the risk that bugs in my script cause more problems than network outages... :( -- I do not get viruses because I do not use MS software. If you use Outlook then please do not put my email address in your address-book so that WHEN you get a virus it won't use my address in the >From field.
