Yes, this happens automatically if you use 2.0+, with Gateway Monitoring, which I believe is turned on by default. You may need to ensure B1 & B2 are reachable via different interfaces, however. If that's not feasible (i.e. both B1 & B2 are on the same subnet), then perhaps you should be using CARP between B1 & B2 to solve the problem instead. -Adam Thompson [email protected] _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
