I have 2 isp provider (ISPA and ISPB) and I have 1 machine. The 2 isp provide a modem/router and both of them hook up on the same switch. I called it "PUBLIC SWITCH". My web server was connected also on the PUBLIC SWITCH and use ISPA provided ip address and its gateway.
What I want to do is also use ISPB on the same server. I have only 2 NIC (1 on PUBLIC SWITCH and 1 on my private network) on my webserver. But since it was connected on the PUBLIC SWITCH, I can use ISPB. I put ip address provided by ISPB as virtual (ifcfg-eth0:1) and the metric gateway was 1. But I think this won't work as expected. Is there a way wherein I can use both ISP and their provided ip block on my web server (just like a router)? My client is on a tight budget and don't want to purchase another machine just for a load balancer. But purchasing another NIC card is ok. The OS is CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.el5. Upon Googling, there is a patch on the kernel on how to do this but it seems old. Just asking a recommendation on the list who is expert to this. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
