If so, then you ought to look into BGP/EGP. Otherwise, you might find something like carp(4) useful. However, FreeBSD does not support multiple default gateways-- the standard routing table is designed to give one and only one answer, based on the destination IP, for where packets should go. If you need more complicated routing, you can use something like the openbgpd port, aka http://www.openbgp.org/.... -- -Chuck
