Well, you get to decide what internet host address to use for determining the performance of an uplink. It doesn't have to be the next hop router. The bottom line is that if you want robust failover/balancing over multiple uplinks, you have to pay for it in the form of BGP peering. If you don't want to pay for that, then you get what you pay for. -Tom -- Tom Eastep \ When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather who Shoreline, \ died peacefully in his sleep.
