Yeah I doubt that'll fly.. I think I'll settle on piping specific traffic through each interface, and in addition have a small shell script in cron, that will check that the two interfaces are up and running.. if one should go down, route all traffic through the working one.. Not pretty but it should do the trick. /mich ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Trunking connections
List, In a branch office, I've got two ADSL lines setup (with two different ISPs) - one of them are supposed to work as backup line, but since it is a ADSL flat fee line, I was wondering if there's a way of setting up some sort of a trunk with FreeBSD, so I can make use of the extra bandwith. Obviously, the line should be unaffected if one of the lines go down. I've got a FreeBSD firewall/gateway with three interfaces.. Any ideas ? /mich ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This has been discussed quite extensively on the list in the past, and if I recall correctly the answer is basically no, unless the lines go to the same ISP and they also configure the lines this way on their end. There may be various ways to dynamically dink your own routing table to try to balance your outbound traffic, but by the very nature of IP the inbound traffic cannot be regulated without full cooperation of the upstream routers. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) gregb at scls.lib.wi.us, (608) 266-6348 ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Trunking connections
you should check out the fbsd/firewall pfSense. it has exactly what your talking about built in, and easy to configure. i could go on and on all day about how great that firewall is... but you should check it out yourself. www.pfsense.org its built on 6.0. jonathan List, In a branch office, I've got two ADSL lines setup (with two different ISPs) - one of them are supposed to work as backup line, but since it is a ADSL flat fee line, I was wondering if there's a way of setting up some sort of a trunk with FreeBSD, so I can make use of the extra bandwith.

I came up with a hack that has worked well for us. We have a frac-T1 line (12/24 ths) that is very reliable, but costs ~$600/month and only gets about 70KB/sec. We also have a connection from the local cable company; it's not terribly reliable, but it's only $40/month, and gets 460KB/sec. I setup squid proxy with the option tcp outgoing address 12.x.x.x where the address is that of the cable NIC. Then configured ipfw to forward any packets with the 12' address to the cable gateway. We get very fast proxied speed for web browsing, ftp, and other bulk transfers. But the regular traffic still goes over the T1 line. Sorta kludgy, but since I'm no routing expert, I was pleased with the results :) -Wayne ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
