    Hello,

    I have a cable modem and and a dsl connction to my machine. I would like to
    use the cable modem as my default connection and automatically fail-over to
    the dsl connection if/when the cable modem goes down.

    Can routed(8) do this ? If so how? And is there a better way ?

    Any hints appreciated.

    Thanks,

    MArk
