I hate to post another "if it doesn't work in mono.. check out pfsense" 
type message... but...

If you're looking to have multiple gateways with failover, you may wish 
to use pfSense as I believe it's CARP functionality would do what you 
require.

http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Setting_up_CARP_with_pfSense

That link will point you to almost exactly what you are looking for.
