Hi,
I have a linux box connected to a local lan. the ip address is
192.168.1.254. This is the default gateway for the lan. Also I have
to broadband connections that has routers. 1. Airtel 192.168.1.1 and 2
VSNL 192.168.1.9. My aim is that if either one of the lines go down I
want the other to take over. All connections are connected to a switch
which includes tbe broadband connections. My routing table is
Kernel IP routing table

Right now if I switch off airtel it takes time to switch over the vsnl.
If I put back airtel and switch off vsnl it it still searches for
vsnl. If I use ip route flush cache. Then it work. Is there a way to
do this automatically.
I also run a local dns for the lan.
Regards
Adrian
