From the sounds of what you are trying to accomplish, I'd think VRRP/HSRP would be more up your alley than any dynamic routing protocol. Also look at NIC teaming.

I need to implement a sort-of failover-loadbalancing where systems would receive gateway address from at least two routers (includingmetric preference if possible). This needs to be done so that no special additional config is required on routers for each new system and for each system all they need is gateway address and nothing else (no routes will be advertised to the router; but for security I'll want to specifythat no routes should be accepted). The systems receiving the routeswould be primarily linux PCs but will also include several windows and solaris machines. I don't want to use RIP (any version) or proxy ARP.The routers are currently all cisco equipment. Any suggestion as to what IGP protocol is best for this scenario?
