Running dual default gateway's
 

We are changing services and the database is running on a default gateway. The new service is a different one (obviously) and I would LIKE to be able to run them both for a little while before the second service provider goes away. Is there a simple way to set this up? I have a Quad NIC. When I tried it, it will default to one or the other.

what would a dual default gateway mean?? you can't have two defaults, it makes no sense! :confused:

Each NIC would have it's own gateway but on the same machine. Talking to 2 service providers.
Ok eth0 traffic can only flow through eth0.
Eth1 traffic flows only through Eth1. Not defaulting to eth0
Is that better?

no, it's not better, what is "eth0 traffic"? Traffic selects it's egress port based on the destination as defined by the routing table. You can't put the cart before the horse.

Take a look at Chapter 4 at lartc.org, it might be useful for you.

Great, I will. Thank you.
