      I read the post about pinging and bouncing on no reply, it contains a script and a cron job.
      http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,17243.msg89348.html

      However, the mechanism for this already exists no?
      Couldn't the Dual WAN interface be used to drop the WAN link and swing to a null or fictitios link?

      Perhaps we could just make the DUAL WAN test process run a script instead?

      Can these things be added as functions on the dual wan page?
      Choices like:

      • Bounce interface (your choice - default to WAN)
      • Run Program
      • etc…

      Thoughts?
