I have a machine on a network which is served by two routers, one of which
is the default route at any given time. The router selection happens via
gated and ICMP router discovery protocols.
The problem is, if I enable PMTU as well, routes to the then-current
router are added explicitly:
Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Mtu Interface
default 204.152.186.61 UG 45 2355519 - fxp0
204.152.188.171 204.152.186.61 UGHD 3 2119 1450 fxp0
What I'd like to see is:
204.152.188.171 default UGHD 3 2119 1450 fxp0
so when the router changes, the connetion won't get screwed.
Is this possible using our current routing table bits?
