Mario, I think the only way to do what you want is to find two hosts on the internet that don't conflict with what you do on a day to day basis. Then add custom routes for those two specific hosts, and with those routes, you force traffic through each NIC.
A perfect example of two public servers would be time or whois servers. Just be nice and dont ping too much (i.e., only send two "small" pings every 2 minutes or something). -john On Tue, 12 Jul 2005, Mario Lobo wrote: > Yeah Stefan. They do take the default route.
