OSPF Routing updates

Hi,

I'm trying to make a reliable network configuration using OSPF.

The plan is to use the 2 interfaces on a DS10 into different networks &
switches:-
                     ______
                   _( )_
                  (_ OSPF _)
                 / (______) \
                / \
               / \
        ---------- ----------
       | Switch 1 | | Switch 2 |
       | 100.1 | | 101.1 |
        ---------- ----------
          | |
          | --------------------- |
          | | DS10 | |
          +-+ tu0 192.168.100.100 | |
            | 192.168.101.100 tu1 +-+
             ---------------------

The idea is that should switch 2 fail the DS10 will announce a host route
to 192.168.101.100 vi 192.168.100.100 which should be propergated through
the network.

The I've got the DS10 configured as an IP router (iprsetup -s) and the following
configureation for gated:-

# Create 2 trace files 100k each in /usr/tmp/gated.log (replace .0, .1...)

traceoptions "/usr/tmp/gated.log" replace size 100k files 2 general ;

routerid 192.168.100.100;

ospf yes {
        traceoptions lsatransmit;
        backbone {
                interface tu;
        };
} ;

However it doesn't seem to work quite right.

Under certain failure conditions (ie turning the switch off) it works 40% of
the time!

Has anyone done any configuraiton of this type?

Regards,

Jonathan
