    Are you using a fbsd box as a router?

    if no, you need to configure BGP on your border router.

    if yes, yuck, routers route, server's serve. =)

    Subject: Multi-Homed Routing

    I have a FreeBSD box for hosting as well as a Gateway for a LAN.

    I have recently added a 2nd Internet source (for redundancy) and I want to
    know how to make FreeBSD choose a primary outbound internet source, and
    chose the other if the primary is down?

    Am I correct to assume that FreeBSD will automatically return incoming
    requests back through the interface that it arrived on?

    e.g.
    Internet request coming in on interface-A will return via interface-A and
    likewise for interface-B

    Thanks
    Tom
