Hi,
I would like to make my bsdi gateway alternate its route to a subnet
(S1 -> S3) from one router (R1) to an other one (R2) (2 x CISCO 2500) 
to provide a basic load balancing scheme and eventualy fault tolerant routing.
So my question is what soft (probably gated) I have to use with BSDI (G) to 
optimize routing from (S1) to (S3).

Thanks for any hints.
