Our AS4100 uses static routes to handle network traffic, because our network
is relatively simple. By static I mean the routes are set up in /etc/routes
and the routed daemon is not running.
Anyhow here is the problem: when one of the routes goes down because of
telco problems the route is naturally sent to the default route. When the
telco problem is resolved, the route does not change back. Now I don't
expect it to, but what would you recommend as a fix?
Here is my /etc/routes file:
default 172.16.0.70
-net 192.168.2 172.16.0.4
-net 199.199.194 172.16.0.25
-net 199.199.189 172.16.0.4
-net 192.168.5 172.16.0.18
The problem is the network routing to the 1999.199.189 subnet via 172.16.0.4
isn't the most reliable and goes down at times. It then attempts to use
172.16.0.70 to get to the subnet even after the telco line is back up.
Thanks in advance for any help and of course I will summarize.
