You probably want to look at the "metric" option when setting your
routing table. I believe you should have two "default" routes
(0.0.0.0), and the "backup" interface should have a higher metric value
than the normal interface. It might look something like this, then
again it might not:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
default 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 U 0
0 0 eth0
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 U 1
0 0 eth1
