Description-en: multiple default gateway support for ifupdown
This package integrates support for multiple default gateways on
independent network connections into the Debian ifupdown network
interface configuration system. It adds new "multi_*" options to the
/etc/network/interface file format in order to more easily configure
Linux's policy based routing.
.
The policy information used to configure each network interface using
ifupdown-multi is saved when ifup is run. This allows network
interfaces using ifupdown-multi to be brought up or down cleanly as
needed.
