So you need to run that command
Add two entries in your cron !

Code: [Select]

0,10,20,30,40,50     *    *    *   *    route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2   >> /dev/null 2>&1

Another one :

Code: [Select]

5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55     *    *    *   *    route add 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.3  >> /dev/null 2>&1
That way.. it will change gateway every five minutes.
