First of all I'd like to apologize on behalf of the list for the level of ignorance and poor grammar which seems to have gone into earlier replies.
_Of_Course_ Linux supports having multiple "default gateways". You just need to get the "ip" tool from the iproute2 package and setup multiple routes with equal (or biased) weighting, and your system will use them both (balancing load between them) to connect to the Internet. I don't think that Redhat ships with iproute2, so probably to get this working you will need to do something along the lines of: 1. Read the Advanced Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html (or any mirror thereof). 2. Make sure you have equal-cost-multipath routing turned on in your kernel (this may require you install the kernel-source package and compile a new kernel with this option enabled). 3. Get and use the "ip" tool instead of the old "route" command to make this stuff actually happen (details in the HOWTO from step 1).
