Hi,

If the question is

R1(192.168.4.4) should use R2 (192.168.5.5) when its available.
When R2 is unreachable, R1 should use the path thru R3 (192.168.6.6)

Pls let me know if either of the foll 3 solutions can be given.

Solution 1)
-----------------

R1 

---
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.4.4
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.5.5
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.6.6 backup-peer 192.168.5.5

R2
---
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.5.5 prom

R3
----
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.6.6 prom

Solution 2)
----------------

R1
---
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.4.4
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.5.5 cost 1
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.6.6 cost 2

R2
----
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.5.5 prom

R3
----
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.6.6 prom

Solution 3)
--------------
R1
---
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.4.4
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.5.5
dlsw remote-peer 0 tcp 192.168.6.6

R2
----
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.5.5 prom cost 1

R3
----
dlsw local-peer peer-id 192.168.6.6 prom cost 2

One more question, if i give the cost for R5 locally(in local-peer 
statement) as  well
in R2 (using the remote-peer statement for R5), which cost will be used for 
R5 by R2 ?

thanks,
subbu
