So, as a mere theoritical question.... senario: 3 seperate boxs with seperate gateway/network destinations. Combine to one box with 4 NICs.
Question: Why not alias the internal network nic with 2 ip addresses, set the clients to use whatever gateway they are supposed to and setup the routing tables to route to the appropriate external NIC based on the gateway the client is using? Now, even if this was posible (and I have NO idea if it is), I imagine that it would include some seriously customized scripts. -sp On Thu, 10 January 2002, Jack Coates wrote: > > No -- using three gateways to share load is about as good as it gets. > > On Thu, 10 Jan 2002, Patrick last wrote: > > > Well I never could get what I was wanting to do working... > > > > For example.
