The scenario here is more of switching ISPs. Commonly, you would have two different routers, one from each T1 provider, and you may not have direct access to their configuration. If I understand the setup correctly, each T1 router was connected to a separate NIC on the server. This iproute2 method allows you to use both WAN connections "separately". It is not really a high-availability or load-balancing thing, it's merely a way to transition from one provider to another. --Jeremy -- /---------------------------------------------------------------------\ | Jeremy Portzer [EMAIL PROTECTED] trilug.org/~jeremy | | GPG Fingerprint: 712D 77C7 AB2D 2130 989F E135 6F9F F7BC CC1A 7B92 | \---------------------------------------------------------------------/
