I have a question that seems to have eluded most folks in the circles I
have chatted with so I will bounce it around here. We currently have a
WebRamp router that funnels Ethernet traffic bound for the Internet out 2
modems. I initially thought that they used binding to bond the
connections, but then I discovered that I could have 1 of the modems dialed
to ISP #1 and the other modem connected to ISP #2 and the connection still
functioned at full speed.
We have been wanting to get rid of the WebRamp for some time now due to
unreliability, so I whipped up a Linux box with IPCHAINS and hooked up 2
modems trying to duplicate the usability of the WebRamp. After fighting
with the IPCHAIN rules and the routing table, I finally gave up. I'm
assuming that it IS possible, but no one that I have spoken with seems to
know the secret. Either the WebRamp is doing some internal "black magic"
with the traffic which isn't currently possible in Linux or I'm completely
missing the boat. Anyone have any pointers? Even a "I've tried that too
and failed" would be reassuring for me. :)
