Well, the thing was I wanted to load balance across two Gig links going from
the switch(IDF) to the two routers (6509 MSFC's at the MDF). And I didn't
want to manage the Gateway distribution individually.
The best thing I came up with so far is using two scopes on two different
DHCP servers (each give out a different gateway) and then on each 6509 put
IP helper addresses for both DHCP servers but in different order and hope I
get about a 50/50 distribution of the default gateways.
I'm not sure that this all made sense, but thankyou everyone for your help.
Nathan
