Hi,
this question maybe a little complicated:

We have 2 ADSL routers connecting to 2 different ADSL connections, one is a
backup conneciton, we have PIX firewall 506E. Two routers connect to a
switch that PIX outside interface is connected toas well, and PIX inside
inteface goes into LAN.

PIX currently uses Router 1 as he gateway.

Is there a way I can set this up so that in case the ADSL goes down that we
use with Router 1, PIX would select the second router as the gateway?

If there is a way but not with PIX 506E, I can maybe buy something other
than PIX 506E, i am really desperate for a solution like that, any
suggestions incuding any other firewall much appreciated!

Dunno if PIX hardware can do it, but a sonicwall pro 4060 can. (www.sonicwall.com)

The Linksys RV082 can also do dual-wan in either load-bearing or failover
configurations.
