If you turn on router discovery on the router ports pointing toward the Suns then when rebooted the Suns will run in.rdisc and learn from the routers. OR Only advertise the default route (0.0.0.0) on both router ports pointing towards the Suns via RIP and the Suns will learn the routes (and unlearn the routes when one goes away). As far as the PCs go. Don't know. I haven't seen a PC based IP stack that will dynamically learn routes.
