net access failover
Hello, I have a cable modem and and a dsl connction to my machine. I would like to use the cable modem as my default connection and automatically fail-over to the dsl connection if/when the cable modem goes down. Can routed(8) do this ? If so how? And is there a better way ? Any hints appreciated.

And is there a better way ? I guess this should be a FAQ. For something that can be adapted to do what you want, see http://www.databus.com/dslsec.tgz . routed won't do it because (unlike real multihoming) your address on the two networks is different and the ISPs are not sending you any routing protocol packets. A simpleminded ping of the cable ISP's router, and changing the default route when it goes away and comes back, should work fine. NATing adds a little to the effort, if you do it. Existing connections will not survive a transition, but that's usually not a big deal. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This seems to come up often enough in the *BSD land and in the Linux-land so anyone up for specifying an ioctl to retrieve the tcpcb to userland ?
