Anycast? http://www.nanog.org/meetings/nanog29/abstracts.php?pt=NjcxJm5hbm9nMjk=&nm=n anog29 Might need to know a little more about the layout here for a better answer. -Scott -----Original Message----- From: rodrick brown [mailto:rodrick.brown () gmail com] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 7:47 PM To: nanog () nanog org list Subject: Routing to multiple uplinks This may be slightly off topic however I have a very unique situation where I need to provide two diverse paths to a major stock exchange. Each host may either use route A or B for any given reason to access this particular exchange using two distinct routers and target address. The applicatiOn running on these hosts must only see/use one target address this needs to be transparent as possible. NIC bonding/teaming on the host side isn't a viable solution because of the latency overhead same goes for vrrp/hsrp. I believe my only option here is to setup multiple default routes with a preferred path of some sort. This seems to be possible using ip route2 on Linux. This just seems wrong on many levels and I thought I would post here because I know there is something obvious I'm missing. Please clue me in. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone 3GS.
