Yeah Stefan. They do take the default route. That is what I am already doing.
I even wrote a little prog using a variation of ping to do just that.
The problem lies with the fact that, there is a router between my rl0 and the
internet.
1) rl0 -----------> router ----------> antenna ------> ISPx ------> internet
So the fact that i can ping the hop next to rl0 doesn´t mean the link is up :(.
That is why I NEED to ping something on the internet.
I don't think so. You can follow Chad Leigh's advice and ping a router
on your ISP. Figure out where your packets through ISP1 are routed (try
traceroute) and then add a static route through ethernet1 to that
router. You can do similar for ISP2. Then a ping of either router will
always try to go through the network card appropriate to that ISP.
