I see no need for this. We have multipath support that already does load balancing. The fail over part is a bit more tricky since gif, gre and tun have no link-state. For sppp(4) based interfaces it would be possible to do fail-over via a ifstated triggered script. Later on the routing table will track link-state by itself but this code is not yet written. -- :wq Claudio
