A little off topic here... I'm spinning a "what if" to see if this is
possible and / or if anyone can offer suggestions regarding best
practices on setup.
I am attempting to setup a Multi-ISP (2 different upstream ISP's)
Shorewall in tandem with Bandwidth Arbitrator.
(http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com
<http://www.bandwidtharbitrator.com/> ).
I would like to make this a single-box solution, so would love to
leverage Xen to host the VM for Bandwidth Arbitrator, as BA requires a
patched 2.6.5 kernel.
My configuration would look something like this:
ISP1 ISP2
| |
-------------
|
DOM0------DOMU
|
DOM0----------
|
Internal Net
As the 2.6.5 DOMU in my config MUST be fully virtualized, I cannot use
pciback.hide to reserve a NIC in DOMU to be the gateway for my internal
network, so my idea was to arrange NIC's / virtual NIC's thusly:
ETH1 ETH2
| |
-------------
|
Dummy0-----XenBR0
|----------bridged inside DOMU (BA works via
bridging only)
ETH0-------XenBR1
|
Internal Net
Is this theoretically / practically possible using Shorewall and Xen, or
am I just creating waaaaay to much work for myself?
