Using 2 gateways on the same subnet(backup line)

[pivno8]

Hi,

is there any possibility configuring sbs 2008 with 1 nic(other 3 are unused) to use 2 gateways? I tried to add another gateway in advanced options of TCP/IP protocol on network card but server would not accept connections from second(backup connection) router. In my opinion it does accept connections but it responds via primary router since it is set in the main window of TCP/IP. Is there someone who was succesful with this scenario?

I would use a router with dual WAN ports to achieve this. Messing about with the NIC settings in SBS2008 can lead to strange things!
