When both are up, how do you select? Are both on the same ISP? If not, you have to use some method to determine which becomes the default route. It is possible in Linux to have two or more ISPs and then a TCP connection uses one or the other for the duration of the connection. But again, there has to be some mechanism to chose a default route.

Yep, I have a number of servers in just such a setup - each server has
two possible outbound paths, but the kernel cannot know which one is
actually available, so I control that manually (scripted). (three
options: left is up, right is up, both are up).
