In a quite similar situation, my "solution" is to use BGP to learn routes to the "other" network. I just make sure I never learn a default route from the secondary network - if my primary GW goes down, I should retain connectivity to the other ~13,000 subnets, but I should lose my route to the commercial internet. So far, I think it works... not sure when I latest tested this, mind you. -Adam Thompson [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] Commercial support available - https://portal.pfsense.org
