That is correct. I'd add a "check-gateway=ping" to both routes, just so
that they are removed when the other end is unavailable, rather than
just on an interface down status

Hey guys,
I've got two internet connections - one is significantly slower than
the other and is on the far side of my network. It is primarily used
for failover if the wireless link fails. I would like to use this
connection as a backup internet connection when my primary goes down,
however I only want internet traffic routed to this internet
connection if the primary is down. I don't want to load-balance or
anything like that, just failover.
Am I correct in my assumption that if I just make sure the slower
connection has a higher distance, it will only use it when the primary
is unavailable? Right now I have it set with simply a distance of 1
for my primary and 2 for the secondary.
