I don't think you can have to default routes (atleast this is the way I
understand it, I could be wrong.) but you can set more then 1 static routes.
For example say
eth0 - 192.168.17.2
eth1 - 10.10.10.2
(I know this are bunk ip's, just for example)
everything that goes to 192.168.17.** should be faster if routed out though
eth0, so we can put that route in:
route add -net 192.168.17.0 gw 192.168.17.2 eth0
(check sytnax, can't remember to well from memory)
and everything that goes to 10.10.10.** should be faster if routed out
though eth1, so we could put that route in:
route add -net 10.10.10.0 gw 10.10.10.2 eth1
Say slashdot is 4 hops from eth1 and 102 from eth0, so it should be faster
if we route all packets to/from slashdot though eth1
route add -net 64.28.67.0 gw 10.10.10.2 eth1
You could add static routes like this.
Any one knows if this works, it sound logical right?
