Hi, It works like magic. But then, ... that means I still would have to use a script to mark the interface as down when the remote gateway is inaccessible. Or is there a way to automagically mark the interface down if the network is inaccessible?

Unfortunately I'm not in a position to try it so, Ezra, if it works let me know for future reference. Would much appreciate it. Thanks, Phil.
