linux failover (redundant internet/dial backup)

I have question about Linux routing I guess. I want to create a
backup connection to the internet. I will have a DSL line to the
internet and a dialup modem for backup. What I want to do is put a
higher metric on the dial up line. How will it know to switch over to
the dial up line when the Ethernet line is down. Which distribution
will work for this, I will have two Ethernet cards and a modems. Do I
need a default route for my main internet provider. Thanks Mike D
