Re: Two default gateways in one subnet

How can I do that?
Configuring DHCP with 2 gateways? second one only work when first is down?
Can I set DHCP to assign different gateway to different clients?
thanks!

Yes, it will work. Each device will use the default gateway which is
configured on the device. If you are planning to use this as a way to spread
the load accross the two Internet connections, it will work.

If it works for you and does what you want, it is a good idea. If it
causes you any problems, then it is bad!

Hi,
Is it possible (or good or bad) to use two default gateways in one subnet.
This question is raised when we want to use two Internet (ADSL)
connections, each with an ADSL router.
Let's say, router-1 has a LAN IP1=192.168.16.x and router-2
IP2=192.168.16.y. If both routers connect to the LAN and some devices
configured to use IP1 to be the defualt gateway and others use IP2.

Can this work? and is it a good or bad idea?

Thaks in advance.
