Hi,
This is a theoretical question.
Given a PIX500 series, you have one 0.0.0.0 route on the outside interface, and you give it a 0.0.0.0 route on the inside aswell, what will happend ?
My thoughs are inregards to the PIX by nature will not forward packets out the same interface it was recieved. So will the pix know that fx. this packet were recieved via inside interface, hence use the outside 0.0.0.0 route ? and vice versa ? If it does, would there be any other issues ?
Or ?
Regards Martin
On 6.3 (5) the PIX will not allow you to configure 2 routes for the same subnet. It will give you a " cannot add route " message
But theoretically , if you could have 2 default routes like in a router , with the same metric, you would load balance the traffic between those two routes , so a bunch of traffic would be lost for the reason you mentionned.
Unless you have some policy based routing , where you chose the gateway based on the Source. But it's not supported in PIX 6.3 .
But the question remains for PIX 7.x , i haven't play much with it.
