    I wonder if it is possible to have two internet connections running at
    the same time on one box. Sure, one connection, one Eth

    Schema:

            Router0 <---> Eth0 TUX Eth1 <---> Router1
                               Eth2
                                |
                                |
                               LAN (Hub)

    Default gateway of LAN clients is Eth2, that have for gw Eth0.
    In case Eth0 is down TUX (the firewall) which automatically onto Eth1.
    Is it possible? And it is possibile using at the same time connections
    on redundancy?
