I use shorewall multiisp for load balancing with 3 ISPs through eth1, eth2 and eth3 with the lan on eth0. Works fine but the moment one ISP goes down, the dns acts up and the various entries for that ISP have to be removed and firewall restarted. There also doesnt seem to be any way to detect when the isp comes up again, so the whole thing is manual at present - users scream, check which is down and restart without that. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves Associate, NRC-FOSS [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://nrcfosshelpline.in/web/ Foss conference for the common man: http://registration.fossconf.in/web/ _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
