[PLUG] Multiple gateway scenario...

I've looked at documentation on RIP which seems to be what I need. However,
the example in an OSU networking text uses private addressing on the
redundant gateways dropping to one Internet gateway. What I need is
something that will work where the redundant gateways both have a direct
Internet connection. They are both dual nic machines. With RIP there is
evidently a broadcasting issue. You don't want to broadcast onto
your service providers network. If I understand correctly, the gateways and
other routers broadcast their routes which the workstations and terminals
receive via a listening daemon. The idea as I see it is to listen for the
routes and update routing entries dynamically. Can I controlling the
broadcasting with iptables?
