Multi-Homed Routing

[Lapinski, Michael (Research)]

Are you using a fbsd box as a router? 

if no, you need to configure BGP on your border router.

if yes, yuck, routers route, server's serve. =)

I have a FreeBSD box for hosting as well as a Gateway for a LAN.

I have recently added a 2nd Internet source (for redundancy) and I want to
know how to make FreeBSD choose a primary outbound internet source, and
chose the other if the primary is down?

Am I correct to assume that FreeBSD will automatically return incoming
requests back through the interface that it arrived on?

e.g.
Internet request coming in on interface-A will return via interface-A and
likewise for interface-B

Thanks
Tom
