what is the best way to run multi gateways . the manual show just running the gateway=x.x.x.2,y.y.y.2 way and this does work but switches to offten to keep connections alive is there a howto on a better way using routing and scripts?

thanks

i have tried this and it does work. but there was a doc i had found on MT site that used routing and scripts to do this similar to this but had 4 routing tables for the different ip ranges

ie

0.0.0.0 lookup
x.x.x.0/24 lookup table x
y.y.y.0/24 lookup table y
t.t.t.0/24 lookup table other

something like that . but i could never get it to work . i know it was most likely me . but that was 6 months ago and want to give it another crack at making it work..

thanks for all your help

I would say BGP with uplink provider. But that’s probably not necessarily the thing you are looking for.
But you could try the age old hack of doing something like;
remove default gateway
add dst-address=0.0.0.0/1 gateway=1.1.1.1
add dst-address=127.0.0.0/1 gateway=2.2.2.2

I havent tried this with mikrotik but i guess something like that should work.
But i doubt that would distribute the traffic evenly.

you know i really dont care as much for even dist. as much as being able
to use both gateways in 2.9 i am confused on routing . it isnt the same as in 2.8 .

any suggestions
