BGP is outta the question for me..i asked cisco about that
a couple months ago and they said 128MB was minimum for BGP
on routers..my routers have 8MB each ..

yeah thats what it looks like. so hopefully i can find something
other then routed. i dont want to enable rip, this should be a
very basic routing thing. its not like it needs to be dynamic
its either gateway A or B if A is down. not very complicated!!

i'll try that. thanks!

outgoing should be easier!! incoming i can see how it could
cause problems as each ip is on a totally different network
different isp etc..

this simple.(or which should be)
