NAME
       pingu - Multi ISP policy routing, failover and load-balancing daemon

SYNOPSIS
       pingu [-dhvV] [-a SOCKETPATH] [-c CONFIG] [-p PIDFILE]

DESCRIPTION
       The pingu utility monitors specified interfaces and sets up an
       alternate route table for each specified interface in which it mirrors
       all routes using that interface. It also sets up a route rule so that
       this alternate route table is looked up for traffic where the source IP
       address matches the primary IP address of the corresponding interface.
       This guarantees that a service bound to the primary address of an
       interface will always use routes from that interface.

       It can also ping specified hosts at regular intervals to detect if a
       gateway via a certain interface goes down. It will then remove the
       default gateway(s) via this interface from main route table so that
       traffic not bound to the failed interface will fail over to other
       configured interfaces.

       Pingu can also set up a multipath nexthop defafult route for interfaces
       configured as "load-balance"
