Hi, In Answer to you question re Windows 2000/2k3 you would just need to install routing and remote access service (RRAS) - part of windows, you can then add OSPF as a routing protocol and tell it which adapter to listen on. I have used this successfully when setting ISA Server up with a default gateway off one nic (pointing towards the net - protected by a decent firewall) and another pointing at the local network, one can then learn the LAN routes using OSPF or RIP etc. and have a default route out the other NIC.

So yes OSPF seems like best choice, but I was hoping something simple for gateway-only is available. I've no idea yet how to deal with Windows (all win2000 and win2003), anybody? > Are you doing anycasting or something? Yes, anycasting will be involved but only for very small number of servers (all linux) - that is kind-of separate issue. The equipment itself however will only see local gateway addresses (obviously), so it should not care or know about it. > If simple redundancy in the default gateway is the goal, another (and > probably simpler) method is to implement HSRP or GLBP between your routers > which are serving the hosts in question. Can't use HSRP in this case (or IVRP or whatever else its called with non-cisco options) - too long to explain why. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [email protected] Attachment:
