Hi,
I would like to know whether dynamic routing is going to solve my
problem, if so how?
Let me first explain the scenario.
We have 3 ISP's providing internet service, 2 are leased lines and one is a
cable connetion.
At the moment we have a linux box which acts as a gateway and internet
firewall.
We work around our way with static routing. The linux box is set to send the
default ip packets
through one of the ISP. We also have particular sites which are routed
throught the other 2 isps.
The problem is, if one of the isp is down, one of will have to manually
change the routing so that
it does not affect the work in the office. So we have people sitting round
the clock to switch over
the routing from one isp to another whenever some happens.
My question is if I do have dynamic routing installed and working, shouldn't
it be handling the switching
over from one gateway to another automatically. If this is possible how do I
do it.
I have read up something on traffic equalising using linux. Is it possivle
for me to combine all the 3
links from the 3 isps as one device and do all the packet forwarding
throught this combined interface.
( we use services such as ftp, telnet, https, etc )
Thanks is advance
with regards,
Sushil Suresh
