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.
