If you look for a setup that enable your linux box to have two gateways
(e.g. Routing for multiple uplinks/providers) you may find an excelent
how-to here:

2nd default gateway [updated]

Hi All,

I have Linux machine with 2 ethernet cards in different segments. Like
10.2.1.1 and 192.168.1.1
Do i need 2 default gateways in routing table? Please, give me an
example when it may happen.

[update]
The machine MAY BE connected to separate networks and i mean w/ 2 different
routers. Security reasons, for example.
If such case, demands 2nd gateway?

Zaphod
thanks in advance
