Thomas, No, I'm not using this box as a router. It is a web server, and I need to spread the load of my web traffic across two separate T1s.
I can't just add routes. You need a default route, or parts of the internet would become inaccessible. In my case, you need TWO default routes. I have set up Cisco equipment and Windows workstations with two default routes in the past, and it has worked. In fact, I have one Windows box right now that is configured on both these networks with two default gateways, and it is working. There has to be a way to make it work on FreeBSD.

If so.. what about not giving a default gateway for either one and just add routes... Are you attempting utilize this as just a router.? Theres a section that covers setting up routing on interfaces in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-routin g.html Hope this helps T ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gustafson, Tim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2005 5:35 PM Subject: Routing Problem >I am having a problem setting up a multi-homed host.
