Multi homing PC - Multiple default gateways

Hi Guys

If I was to have a PC with 3 NIC's, e.g. 192.168.1.x , .2.x, .3.x can I have different gateways for each connection, the idea being if one connection goes down another one can take over.

PC isnt built yet but will be either XP Pro or Win 7 Pro.

Thanks

Thanks guys sounds good, it looks like I can just let each nic get a gateway via DHCP and it will handle it automatically, no need to add default routes via command line as I dont mind which gateway the PC uses as they all go out to the internet, does that sound correct?

Thanks Fidelius I thought that was the case, i've had same problem with dual wan drayteks unless you change some settings.

The PC's role is more to provide access to all the separate networks from one location, e.g. administer multiple routers etc so should be ok
