I have been wondering this for some time now and haven't seen anyone
pose the question so i figured it's time.
I have a single dsl connection coming in _not_ terminating on the normal
cpe but going directly to my firewall (OBSD 4.0) via sangoma s518 dsl
card. I then have a few nics for routing to different lans, DMZ etc.
The question is, is it possible to create another firewall put a dsl
card in the machine, split the phone line running the same dsl signal
into each box and use carp, on the dsl interface, to provide failover /
redundancy or would i need to get a dedicated dsl router and then run
the two machines into a hub connecting to the dsl router? (which still
leaves me with a single point of hardware failure)
Thanks in advance,
aaron
