I had a proxy server (Squid + Dansguardian) under Slackware on the
LAN which, via 'ip route' I make it use 3 gateways connected each one
to an ADSL line and balance the requests.
Unfortunately my server crashed and I took the oportunity to install
a new one under FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. Squid and Dansguardian are
working fine. My problem is that I don't know how to make the server
use the other 2 gateways I have left and balance the requests on all
ADSL lines.
use ipfw and fwd command.
for example with output section
add 10000 fwd gw1_IP from DSL1_subnet to any via gw1_ethernet
add 10001 fwd gw2_IP from DSL2_subnet to any via gw2_ethernet
add 10002 fwd gw3_IP from DSL3_subnet to any via gw3_ethernet
for my scenario I asume gwX_IP the IP address of my dsl gateways. What
would be DSLX_subnet and gwX_ethernet?
The proxy has only 1 NIC. Just to be sure: gateway_enable="YES" must be
set in /rtc.rc.conf and the kernel must be recompiled with ip forwarding
capabilities?
please do treat above as an example of course.
Of course use right squid commands so it will select right source IP
based on the rules you want, but as you already did id under linux i
assume you have this practiced already.
Under Linux I didn't used squid commands to do the balancing. Only
defining the 3 gateways with ip route command.
Is it possible to do the same with ipfw as you mentioned above?
i had 5+2 Polish Telecom links connected to one server - worked fine.
