I have a bash script floating around that I used a while back to do just this. It basically tested the default route Dsl line 1 and if it didn't return it would change the default route to the the Comcast route 2.
It worked well and tested for 3 ping returns and was fairly adaptable. You could probably whip one up but I will pass it along if I can find the script. -Heath Henderson On Jul 9, 2010, at 5:01 PM, "Chris Janssen" <[email protected]> wrote: > If this is the case, then is there an easy $MD solution out there to manage > two external connections? > > Chris Janssen > JH/HS Principal/Technology Coordinator > Spoon River Valley Schools > London Mills, IL 61544 > [email protected] > Phone: (309) 778-2201 > Fax: (309) 778-2655 >>>> [email protected] 07/09/10 4:19 PM >>> > Whoa, be careful there.
