Gateway Failsafe and default gateways

Hi,

 

I am quite lost concerning how Gateway Failsafe (GF) can be used to monitor def GW in cluster.

 

Def GW object is object synced between nodes. So I can't see a way to set two different Def GW on nodes.

 

GF is based on monitoring two different gateways (or other objects). Each device have to use completely separate (separate Pool with separate pool members like:

 

DeviceA - gf1_pool - 10.10.10.1:0 DeviceB - gf2_pool - 10.10.11.1:0

 

It makes sense because in case of Failover based on GF new Active should have it's pool UP. If it would be the same device then most probably it would be Down same as on Active.

 

Sure, both devices can have different network paths to the same device but probably it's less frequent.

 

Maybe that is because of name used for this feature that suggested me that it can be used to monitor Def GW, but in fact it's not at all?

 

The final question is if there is a way to have separate Def GW per node in cluster? I mean using Routes config, not magic with VSs? And can GF be used to actually monitor access to Internet from nodes - via separate gateways?

 

Piotr
