Hi!
Could please someone tell me about current state of multiple gw capabilities of
FreeBSD?
I have dual homed FreeBSD box, one interface ISP1 another ISP2 :
1) can I balance outgoing traffic across them ?
2) Is there support of any kind dead gateway detection?
3) Can I install multiple routes to the same network (with same and with
different wight)? If yes how it behaves with one link failure, in particular if
interface is down?
about multiply GWs: you can set multiply gw via setfib(1) utility and
use fib in your firewall rules. But it is not very handy with DHCP and
rc(8) (setfib is located in /usr/bin and can't be used in /etc/rc.d).
Due to this I have to add another FreeBSD box to handle dynamic
routes.
This is the one thing I know which can I do in linux easily and in
freebsd with hacks.
There were some attempts to add setfib support to rc.subr, but it was
not committed:

I don't know the reason.
