We have a SBS 2000 server with 2 permanent internet connections, 1 dial-up the other broadband. We have the server setup to receive in-bound vpn connections via the dial-up and also remote VPN to the broadband firewall. With the dial-up connection running we cannot connect via the broadband router.

We have noticed that the dial-up connection "takes over" the default gateway once connected. We have gotten around this problem by adding a second default gateway (the braodband router) and enabling the DetectDeadDefaultGateway reg key but the gateway entry has to be added manually if the server is restarted.

The idea here is to use the Brodband as the primary in/outbound connection and the dial-up as a redundant route.

Any thoughts idea's?

I'm not sure of the best way to do this, but if you use a -p option on your Route ADD command it will make it persistent across boots.
