Help! FreeBSD Webserver with two NICs
Hello Gurus I think you might help me I want to run a webserver which will be having a good traffic. At present, I have a 100/10 Mbps internet connection (fiber-optics) but with this connection I cannot get Fixed IP for the webserver. To get the Fixed-IP, I am getting a 24/1 Mbps internet line through Telephone line. But I am just in doubt that my webserver might not be able to server the documents with good serving speed due to 1 Mbps upstream... So, I came to an idea that if I use two NICs, one NIC bounded to 100/10 Mbps to serve the pages and one which would be bound with 24/1 Mbps connection with Fixed-IP to litsen the requests my Question is that is it possible and if so, how? I am planning to install FreeBSD as a OS.

Can you use a service like DynDNS.org and just use the 100/10 connection? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why-O-Why won't they give you a static IP on that line? :) Here (Sweden) we have full 100/100mbit to some appartment buildings WITH fixed IP. But basicly you can only pull/push 1mbit, since there is a 300GB traffic limit imposed. :) So, I came to an idea that if I use two NICs, one NIC bounded to 100/10 Mbps to serve the pages and one which would be bound with 24/1 Mbps connection with Fixed-IP to litsen the requests my Question is that is it possible and if so, how? Not possible the easy way: you can't reply to a request from a different IP than the one the request was sent to due to TCP socket limitations. The clients expects an answer from IP x on the socket it opened, but instead receives unknown data on a new socket coming from IP Y. To get this working you would need a third fixed IP/machine somewhere and do tunneling with two channels combined. That way your inbound traffic would go via the fixed IP and the outbound via the big pipe. Giving me an idea right away: if you have any such point available close by with a fixed IP (some machine somewhere in a rack with good bandwidth): tunnel it to your home. But if you would have that, you wouldn't have the webserver at home anyway, would you? :) -- Robin Vley F/X Services Managed Hosting http://www.fx-services.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
