Fault tolerant routes

Hello All,

Last week the company I work for had a failure in both of the hub routers at the
same time which understandably caused sever problems. They have now installed a
third router into the network and the networking group have asked that all the
system administrators add static routes to the servers so that should the
default route fail an alternative route is tried. I have read through the
'Network Configuration' manual and there is no mention of having a setup where
by the system always uses the default route and in the event that that route
does no work it will try another route. Has anyone does this under Digital UNIX
3.2?

BTW. We run routed (not gated) in quiet mode (-q) therefore there is no RIP.

If this is not possible in Digital UNIX then how do people solve this?

Cheers

PS. If this was a simple question please excuse my ignorance -as ignorance is
bliss!
